Over 160 companies are participating in the 29th edition of “Nature. Hunting. Fishing“ and “Flower Spring“, which is taking place from today until March 30 on the territory of the Plovdiv Fair. In addition to Bulgaria, companies from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Greece, Japan, Turkey and others will show the latest in hunting and fishing. Nearly 30% growth in exhibitors and 20% in occupied areas is reported this year compared to last year, the organizers report.
The high interest in the exhibition is also proven by the fact that there was a 6% growth last year, which stimulates the Bulgarian economy. The sector brought in 12 million leva in revenue last year. "This stimulates tourism and the economic growth of our country," said Stoyan Toshev, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food, during the official opening. "The analysis for 2024 shows that stable game populations have formed in all hunting management areas. Bulgaria remains a leader in terms of trophy qualities of game“, he added.
“Bulgaria remains a leader in the shooting of trophy specimens, which is proof of good breeding, selection, raising and care for the game population“, said Rosen Raichev, Deputy Director of the Executive Forestry Agency.
“Natural resources are under increasing pressure. Our responsibility to the environment is becoming increasingly important. The Plovdiv International Fair is a platform that unites business, science and institutions in the search for a solution. We all share a common vision for a greener and more sustainable future," said Dr. Ivan Sokolov, Director of the Plovdiv International Fair.
Visitors will see a rich variety of products and accessories, high-quality equipment for hunting, fishing, alternative tourism and sports. Gardeners and farmers will find flowers, fruit trees, seeds, seedlings, ornamental trees and shrubs, exotic plants and citrus trees.
