According to the Agriculture Minister, one of the biggest mistakes was the destruction of irrigated agriculture in Bulgaria, because without water on this "golden soil" there can be no production. Regarding organic food production, Vatev expressed his deep conviction that Bulgaria could be the European oasis for organic production, but the requirements and regulations are very complicated. On the subject of cooperation in the agri-food chain, Minister Vatev called on farmers to cooperate in order to be successful on the market.
