Establishment of a viable and sustainable agricultural holding with main activity maintaining and creating permanent crops cultivated in a biologic way.

The Subsistence Candidate 6.1 develops agricultural activity on the territory of the Municipality of Slivo Pole and currently processes 18,298 decares of agricultural land. The areas farmed are used for rent and lease. The structure of the holding for the present economic year 2017/2018 is the following: 1,000 decares of potatoes, 7,000 decares of cherries, 5,334 decares of apricots and 4,964 decares of peaches. All crops on the holding are grown, respecting the principles of organic production. For the purpose of restructuring and adaptation of the farm, the cultivated areas, which have permanent crops, will be increased by 7,000 decares of stone species of cherry trees. The permanent plantation is planned to be created in the autumn of 2019, in the period 01-30 November. This will lead to an increase in the economic size of the farm compared to the initial amount by at least EUR 4000. For the needs of his farm and in order to reduce the cost of external services, the farmer will purchase a cordless scissor. She will complete a course in agriculture and will receive training on the main problems of environmental protection in the agricultural sector. The increased workload on the farm leads to the necessity of employing labor, so besides the employment of the young farmer, it will also provide employment for one person in the region.
