From today until Sunday, Samokov is hosting the Raspberry Festival and the National Exhibition of Raspberry Producers, BTA reports.
The event provides an opportunity for growers to showcase their varieties and innovative equipment, including tractors, machinery, and smart irrigation and fertilisation systems that support raspberry cultivation in mountainous and semi-mountainous regions.
