Programme: Rural Development Programme

The farm will continue to develop in the field of berry orchards - cultivation and production of raspberries for processing. Already in the first economic year 2022/2023, at least 5 decares of land will be leased, on which new raspberry plantations will be created with a planting scheme / 2.50 m distance between rows / and 0.50 m distance between plants, which corresponds to 800 the number of plants per decare. Licensed planting material for the creation of new orchards will be purchased. Thus, the areas with raspberries will reach a minimum of 17,372 decares. This amount will be maintained until the end of the five-year production program. Start of the implementation of the business plan no later than nine months from the date of concluding the administrative contract for grants will begin with the purchase and installation of a solar set electric shepherd, in order to protect raspberries from the entry of stray agricultural animals, which often happens and which cause damage to the plantation, and hence to the resulting products. It is planned to purchase a Portable combined measuring instrument for moisture, nutrient saturation and soil temperature for the needs of the farm. By collecting and analyzing these soil data in the field of the root system of the plantations, the farmer will be able to accurately determine the need for irrigation and the exact amount of nutrients needed for the growth stage in which the plants are located. The farmer will observe and carry out in time all the necessary agro-technical measures for growing raspberries. He will register annually the agricultural land he cultivates in the IACS and will apply for support under the direct payment schemes and other national support schemes applicable to his farm. It will comply with all applicable to the economy requirements of national and European legislation.
