Development of a viable and sustainable agricultural holding on the territory of Saedinenie, Saedinenie municipality, Plovdiv district, by cultivating perennial plums.

The farm of Desislava Balkanska is located in the land of Saedinenie, Saedinenie municipality, Plovdiv and is located on three adjacent agricultural properties. The farm is specialized entirely in the sector "Fruits and vegetables" and has a total area of ​​24,800 decares. The applicant uses the agricultural land with a tenancy contract for 10 years, registered at the Registry Office in Plovdiv and in the Municipal Office of Agriculture of Saedinenie. The farm grows stone fruit species - prunes and watermelons. For the entire available area the farmer has signed a contract for control and certification of organic production with "INSTITUTE FOR CONTROL OF BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTS AD" with the logo "BIO ELLAS". It intends, during the implementation of the project, to increase its holding with new perennials, also from prunes, cultivated according to the rules of organic production. The transition to organic production will increase the applicant's income and hence its competitiveness. Organic crops contribute to environmental protection, increase resource efficiency and mitigate the effects of climate change. The wish of the Balkans is to appoint a person on a labor contract, which will allow the implementation of all agro-technical activities on time and will positively influence the employment in the area. An 8-hour course on environmental protection in agriculture will take place.
