CLIMATE CHANGE AND PEST CONTROL

He pointed out that individual methods in agricultural struggle are insufficient, saying, "It is necessary to conduct the struggle in a mass manner."

PRODUCER UNIONS AND INSPECTIONS

"THERE IS NO CONCEPT OF RETURNING PRODUCTS FROM EXPORT"

In his statements regarding export processes, Yazgan said, "There is no concept of returning products from export." However, he also addressed the difficulties faced when products do return, mentioning that Bulgaria earns 50 million Euros annually from this process.
