Programme: Good Governance

The natural-climatic conditions, established traditions and existing orchards in the Kyustendil region give grounds that the available resource is a good basis for the development of fruit growing, and it should be a priority and leading sub-sector in the Kyustendil region. In this regard, the scientific potential of the Institute of Agriculture - Kyustendil can be used to the maximum, whose team is able to develop both specific projects for the creation and cultivation of new plantations in the area and to provide qualified consulting services to producers.
The production of high-quality, competitive agricultural production requires the correct selection of ways and means to achieve the set goal. Through the practical classes, scientists from the Institute of Agriculture - Kyustendil, within the framework of the planned activities, will acquaint farmers with the latest achievements of agricultural science and practice in the field of fruit growing. The process of introducing agricultural science innovations to agricultural producers' knowledge will be accelerated.
In this regard, the demonstrations on the topic "Good practices for sustainable and ecological fruit production" will have a significant positive impact on the further work of agricultural producers and the persons employed on their farms; will help in the correct creation and cultivation of fruit plantations for ecological, efficient and sustainable fruit production, as well as in the correct zoning of species and varieties with increased resistance to stressful abiotic and biotic factors; will turn agriculture, fruit growing in particular, into an increasingly relevant and profitable business.
