Producers of raspberries and strawberries staged protests across the country on March 21. They used agricultural machinery to block the traffic on the main road Razgrad - Targovishte.
The farmers are dissatisfied with the increased price of irrigation water and demand urgent measures to save their production.
Irrigation water price hiked by 300%, farmers ready to protest
The industry is worried that the increased price of water will lead to staff redundancies, reduced production, uprooting of gardens and bankruptcies.
