10,335 tons of roses have been produced in Bulgaria in 2024, almost 1,000 tons more than last year, the Consultative Council on Oil Bearing Roses says. There are almost 3,000 rose producers registered in the country, and 53 rose oil distilleries with an annual processing capacity of more than 15,000 tons of roses. More than 930 tons of rose oil have been exported to the US, China, Australia, Japan, India and the UK since the beginning of the year, with export prices ranging from USD 9,000 to USD 16,000 per kg., depending on whether the oil is conventional or biological. The consultative council discussed amendments to the law on rose farming which the industry has long been demanding.
