Ombudsman Maya Manolova: I am ready to initiate legal changes that will clearly regulate the protection of small producers of fruit

I am ready to initiate legal changes that will clearly regulate the protection of small producers of fruit. That is what commented in front of journalist in Kyustendil national ombudsman Maya Manolova, a reporter of Radio "Focus" - Kyustendil announced.
Maya Manolova underlined that mostly small fruit producers in the region with 5 to 15 acres suffered from spring frostbites. “Usually people collect and sell around five thousand tons, but this year they collected only two thousand tons cherries. This means that there are many affected plantations. I am ready to fully support producers of cherries and to insist institutions to do the same”, said Maya Manolova. She pointed that the legislation is not perfect, because it protects big producers; however the small producers also have the opportunity to receive payments of damages.
Maya Manolova reminded to producers of plums and apples, whose harvest also was damaged, to apply for payments as well. “I am ready to initiate legal changes that will clearly regulate the protection of small producers of fruit and vegetables in such disastrous situations, in which their harvest is affected”, added the ombudsman. She noted that next week in Wednesday there will be a meeting with the Minister of agriculture and food, during which she will put the issue about payments for producers of cherries.
