Blueberries are not so much in the Gomel markets, but beautiful forest berries have already appeared on trade ranks.

A sixty-year-old resident of the regional center, which introduced himself as Tatiana Nikolaevna, was the first to bring a blueberry to the mini market along the street of Kozara. For a two-gram glass of a berry asks 2 rubles.

"This year is much less blueberries than even in the past. And small they are. In May, frost were. Gardens grabbed, and blueberries, apparently, got - the berries also bloomed at that time. Collected in the forest near the railway stop "chanterelles" - this is in the direction of Chernigov. "

A woman says that about six hours walked through the forest while the 5-liter bucket collected. It is forced to collect even a small blueberry and carry on the market, because "Retire has long to wait - she in the middle of the month."

"Yes, what that pension is 250 rubles, - Complaints Tatiana. - I worked as a dispatcher in Gomeloblavtotrans, we attributed us to the category of employees and identified such a pension. While I'll wait for it, then, at least on bread and milk I will earn on berries. "

Tatyana Nikolaevna herself and her neighbor in the trading counter praise blueberries: they, they say, for vision useful, digestion, cardiovascular system.

I agree with the reservation: "It's when a blueberry without radiation."

"I checked 32 units, and the norm is 185," - Says a collector of berries.

At the label of the Laboratory of the Mini-Market "Airfield", which refers to the city veterinary station is indeed written: "The norm 185 of the BC / kg." Correctly write: the permissible level of 185 beckeriels per kilogram, and not the norm. Otherwise, it looks like radiation allegedly lacks in blueberries.

On the attractive market, forest berries trades the village of Anatoly from the village of Kravtsovka. It has cheaper berries: for the glass - 1 ruble 50 kopecks.

He does not want to show a label of testing blueberries on radiation, even angry: "What for? They said that the norm. "

The villagers also goes to the forest to get some kind of retirement. It is even less for Anatoly - only 200 rubles. The interlocutor worked at the "Coolant" disinfector.

"We have such a life -says villagers, - Although some believe that retirees live better. "

In the central market, the blueberries are sold in three places. The price of everyone is the same: a glass - 2 rubles. Many buyers are suitable, ask about price and go. Expensive.

Peter sells with his wife and strawberries, and blueberries:

"The device was collected in the forest for the village, checked for radiation, you can sell. People take on dumplings or just enjoy. Price, maybe high, but little blueberries in the forest. This, consider the first. Will be more blueberries, prices will decline - such a market law. "

For three decades after Chernobyl, residents of the region began to relate more sensitively to berries and mushrooms. At least, in the markets are trying not to buy "forest gifts", not tested in the laboratory.

"I like the blueberries, - Says the town dweller Igor. - If I see that proven, buy. Not tested not to take not to "glow" from radiation. We still have many places where you should not walk, and not what to collect something to the table. "

"All day yesterday with my daughter went through the forest and how much they scored, - nods on a five-liter bucket elderly woman selling blueberries at the entrance to the market. - No berries! Do not compare with last year. Then so much it was that they could not even collect all. So remained wintering. And now ... you are looking for a blueberry like mushrooms: then there is a berry there, then there ... "

And fault of frost

This year blueberries in the price. For a liter jar in the central market in Brest in the morning, 5 rubles are asked. If you start to bargain, the sellers are offended - the berry this year is not easy. The weather anomalies affected: just for the period of blooming blueberries came night frosts. Where they left their mark, there is a berry "no". In another forest and even on another clearing, the situation may be a little better. In general, experts say: in a number of regions, including in the Brest and Gomel regions, the yield of blueberries 1.5-2 times lower than last year.

Cold spring pushed the maturation dates forest berries. Last seasons at this time, the billery was already covered with a blank, now it just begins. While the firms are harvested and hold the purchasing price within 2-2.3 rubles per kg. A year ago, they also started with two rubles, but then the prices sharply went down and for the second half of July reached 1.5 rubles. This year, the situation may be reverse.

Exporters expect prices

Similarly, no more prices for the blueberries of the new crop in European markets were not formed. It is there who goes most of the frozen Belarusian berries. "Europe is waiting for proposals," explains Anton, a specialist in foreign economic activity of one of the commercial firms of Brest, engaged in the harvesting of Dijoros. - And the first sentence will proceed from Ukraine. Prices are already being formed there, and we see that they will be higher last year. Then Ukraine due to the high crop of the blueberries desperately dumping. In the current cold, they touched it. On the plains of blueberries little. In the Carpathians, it will be, but later. "

Last year, the blueberries presented an unpleasant surprise exporters: the prices for it in world markets sharply went down. A few years ago (for example, in 2011) they accounted for 2.5-3 euros per kg, and in mid-July 2016 fell to 1.3-1.5 euros. We are talking about untreated berries, specialists emphasize. We are mainly supplied to export. In Belarus, there are practically no equipment (they say terribly expensive), allowing to clean and calibrate the blueberries in size. It was after such a "finalization" it enters the manufacturers of yoghurts, confitures and other appetizing products. The refinement of berries is mainly engaged in Poland and the Baltic countries, and their price is already completely different.

Choose last year's stocks

However, Belarusian exporters are also not bad in blueberries, if they correctly calculated the strategy of European manufacturers and large networks. Those can be received by two: or buy the volume of berries at once for the year, or during the year to acquire small batches necessary for operational work if we are confident that the already collected and frozen berry is not going anywhere. What strategy they choose this year and who will define it - suppliers or consumers, to say difficult.

On prices in world markets can affect Russia, specialists say. Our Eastern neighbor consumes this berity in large volumes, but also exports it no less. Last year, it was frozen so much that the whole to sell could not so much. And these reserves knowledgeable people are assessed as "very big." According to their data, Russia now offers last year's purified and calibrated berries of 1.9-2 euros per kg. Our exporters hope: such a situation will continue from the strength of the week two, while the reserves do not run out and the bulk of the new harvest will not go. It is not much this year. "And in demand, ski, you can breed the price trip," says Anton.

Earn "on cheese and sausage"

However, for ordinary consumers, that is us with you, and the current prices for fresh blueberries seem to be "ceiling". 5 rubles per liter jar is about 8 rubles (4 euros!) Per kg. And therefore, how hard this berry was going to, the point is to go for her in the forest. The 65-year-old Anna Ivanovna from the nearest to Brest district center knows about it is not a bit. With the onset of the blueberry season, she spends every day in the forest and knows berry places. Probers do not learn and does not trade on the market. The woman has their own wide range of buyers, which she sells 4 rubles for a liter jar for a liter jar. "Pension is small, and earn for cheese and sausage," explains Anna Ivanovna. If you believe, since the beginning of the season, she has already earned about 100 rubles in a blueberry.

The inherbird season is in full swing. In the Brest region of this berry, twice the last year has already been prepared, the news "24 hours" on the program. Part will go for processing, part - for export.

Belarusian blueberries buy in Russia, Baltic countries and Poland.

Lyudmila Bayernovich's rich blueberry places knows best and ready to tell - the competition is not afraid. Woman in the morning and in the evening runs milkka. In the afternoon, a few hours goes to the forest. Heavy labor, but also there is always profit.

Lyudmila Bayarovich, a resident of the village of Lyakhovtsy:

On the day, even 90 rubles.

At the height of the season behind the black gifts of the forest, whole caravans go and go. Villages half empty. But buckets, on the contrary, are filled.

The end point of this cycle is a blank. You can pass the blueboard in every village. Yes, and the price - 3.70 per kilogram - people motivate well. Such high was not for several years.

Valery Captain, Head of the Brest Regional Consumer Department:

In order to pick up the maximum of berries in the population, we are forced to raise the price. So that people go to the forest, they earned the billery and, accordingly, left money in our stores.

Part of the collected berries will be recycled, part - for export. Belarusian blueberries still buy in Russia, Baltic countries and Poland. Cooperators plan to prepare several times more than last summer.

Faith Mischuk, the seller of Malya district:

Great blueberries pass. Where is anywhere leaf, but this is nothing terrible, it's a berry. It was generally beautiful. Now two days the rain passed a little - it became a lot of wet. And so super blueberries.

An active breaker in early July favorably and weather.

Peter Butform, STV:

As the way, in the area, a ban on visiting forests was removed in the area a few days ago. Doors to berry places are now officially open. And the fines are not threatened with lovers of a quiet hunt.

As a rule, does not sit at home in the inherbird season and Alla Kendy. First collects for the family. The rest sells. Roadside trading is fighting. Collected for day 6-7 liters leave instantly.

Alla Kendy, a resident of the village Leshnitsa:

Compared to last year, the harvest, of course, is excellent. People are harvested, take two jars, in liter, two.

Summer inherper boom in full swing. This means that there will be even more useful berries on the table of Belarusians.

10.07.2017 - 21:57

Belarus news. The season "Quiet hunting" started in Belarus. Despite the cool spring, scientists predict a generous harvest of white mushrooms and boosynovics, reported in the program "24 hours" on SVT.

But blueberries in the forest in 2017 than in the previous season. How will it affect prices?

Peter Butform, STV:
Blueberry collection season in full swing. It is noticeable for the most part in the south of Belarus. Here, in the Malya district, truly berry places most. It is not difficult to find a delicious glade even an inexperienced berry.

And although the harvest in 2016 is not as generous, as last summer,

for useful forest berries, people are still selected. For example, Anatoly Blueberk is obliged to her not only the surname, but also not more than a penny pension.

Anatoly Blueberry, a resident of Malorites:
Well, so, we score a little on a bucket, five liters.

And that kind, help in the farm.

A configureable places in not the very berry year and his countryman Victoria Golovik. In the forest, the future economist finds its benefit, and therefore on vacation, together with younger sister, visits three times a week.

Victoria Gulch, resident Malorites:
From twelve to six or seven, when as, I am typing about 10-13 liters.

Do not sleep in the middle of summer and the boulder. In 2016, local Rypo shipped to one of the Samara region about 40 tons of black berries. In total, it was doubled twice.

Alena Churbanova, head of the sector of the billets of Maloritsky Raypo:
We have the stovers - 15 people.

The mass billet has not yet started, everything is ahead.

And at this enterprise is a blueberries add to each fifth jar baby food, providing more than half of our market, as well as sending to Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Estonia.

Lyudmila Venovomenko, Deputy Director of the Maloric Canning Vegetable Washing Combine:
Mashed puree, puree from blueberries with cream milk, blackberry nectar, blueberry apple. It is a very tasty assortment for children, raises immunity. For the eyes very good.

If the blueberries take three rubles here, then the price is significantly higher on the market. After the weather anomalies, it's not so easy to collect the berry, therefore, it is reluctant to part with it.

Seller:
6, on 5 - the most peak. Now on 4. Already 3,50 were offered, but we still do not give.

And yet those who are for vitamins are ready to part with the ruble, quite a lot.

In the price of blueberries today and in city markets, but trade is fighting. After all, on the table, Belorus in July, she is perhaps the most long-awaited product. And the season lasts only four weeks.

Substrates for seedling: what kinds are



Anna Pashkevich, Head of the Sector of Bob Vegetable Crops RUE "Institute of Vegetable Growing":
Today I would like to talk about substrates and natural land. It is known that the successful cultivation of vegetables and greenery depends on many components, but first of all, from a properly selected substrate. First, a few words I wanted to say about the natural soils or the natural, which are located in Agrolandsaft, in nature, they have a lot of advantages, but there are devices.

As you know, natural soil is rich in organic structures, microorganisms, various horizons. But when we transfer it to an artificial condition, it becomes impossible longer operation.

Moreover, when we begin to water the soils, they become less suitable for growing plants, the air exchange is disrupted, so their physical properties are lost, in particular porosity. Therefore, there is always a search for new substrates and improving existing ones.

From Latin "substratum.» - the foundation. The substrate is a mixture of natural and artificial components suitable for the growth and development of plants.

Substrates should possess special characteristics. They must be porous, moisture, moisture-holder, not to prevent air exchange and water exchange.

Substrates are divided into three groups. The first and most common - organic substrates. These include in particular: peat,coconuts, which can be represented by coconut dust, coconut chips or sell already in ready-made coconut briquettes.

Also, organic substrates include sawdust and coconut bark.

Recently, mineral substrates are widely popular, in particular, they include zeolites, and they can be in different fractions.

But the most successful of them– zeolites from the fraction 1-15. Also substrates such as perlite, vermiculitis. In addition, various clamzite fractions are used as an additional substrate.

The third group includes organometallic, which include characteristics and organic, and mineral substrates.

Be competent when you make own recipe Your substrate.

Blueberry collection season in full swing. Experienced berries are poured: every summer buckets take it out of the forest and make decently for sale. Some of the berry revenue of the loan is repaid, others go to the sea, and the third to study at the university children manage to duplicate. The correspondent "P" left a comfortable office and went to the forest: I learned how many blueberries can be collected in the day, how much is a berry now and is easily swam in such a business.

Berry to berry

Experienced berries assure that they know the local forest as their five fingers. And indeed: in a couple of minutes, we were chosen by the Polyana, rich in the cherished berry.

Blueberries most often found on swampy terrain and in pine forests. There is one place at the commemorate - I leave. Prepared thoroughly: sports suit, raincoat, cake, rubber boots. I take water, sandwiches, compass, remedy for mosquitoes and dryers.

In the forests of the Shchuchinsky district, as well as in Polesie, there are many "blueberry barons". You walk in the morning in the forest with the first roosters, and they are already fiber on a bike for several buckets of berries. Rest and again into battle. Local, beginner, taught: For the Diharos, it is necessary to go as early as possible, otherwise everyone will choose - one sprigs with leaves will remain.

The alarm clock is calling in 4.30. We leave after half an hour, not later: under the scorching sun it is very hard. My conductors kindly agree to become Lyudmila and Galina - experienced berries assure that they know the local places like their five fingers. And indeed: in a couple of minutes, we were chosen by the Polyana, rich in the cherished berry. While I am dumbfounded by joy, colleagues are crushed - the harvest is modest, but richer than last season:

In 2017, the blueberries of Pomerzell, and in this dry weather did not allow the berries to fall into juice - the forest does not pamper again. But the berries are still there, if you know the place.

And we find the right clears easily: in a couple of hours I fill my three-liter bidonchik. The interlocutors break forward - they already have 5 kg of blueberries! Sporting interest makes me work faster, but with a prerequisite condition: Berries to tear only manually. There are several reasons: you use a special combine - you can get a serious penalty, and another scoop for collecting berries can destroy the bush - next season it will be lys and dry. However, none nor another scares a woman who meets on our way. She continues blueberries with a lightning "harvest" and explains:

While you are a berry to the berry, you carefully fold, I will pull the bush in five seconds!

We decide not to follow a bad example. In the normal pace in 1 hour each of us collects about 1.5 kg of berries. We work with small breaks for almost a day - each 15 kg. Fatigue takes its own. Solved: foldable.

Now in seasonal markets, the sea is blueberry. Sellers compete, but there are no prices to reduce. On average, the black berry costs 6.5 rubles per liter.

The track is more expensive

Blueberry appeared not only in the forests, but also in the markets. I am going to intelligence: find out how much a black berry now. At the counters, the mood improves: the price tags are normal, it means that "Gorbatsya" is not in vain. For 1 kg of Didgoros, sellers are asking for an average of 6.5 rubles. I'll buy a conversation with an avid berry, which, except for the Blueberry buckets, give the burgundy fingers on their hands. Teresa, so it seems to be selected for berry plantations:

At first, the blueberries collect himself: on jam, compotes and freezing for all family members. When reserves for the winter replenished, collecting for sale. With my daughter, we usually pick up two buckets of 8 kg. It is more profitable on the market, but you can take a berry and pass.

Sellers share: Blueberries are accepted by both Ripo stores and housebags, private traders. Procurement price on average ranges from 3 to 4 rubles per 1 kg. It turns out, theoretically for 15 kg of berries I can help 52 rubles and more. So we decide to do with my forest prey - literally in 15 minutes I find my buyer. It was not difficult: in the season announcement of the collection of berries in the countryside, almost on every post and fence are pasted. You choose a favorable cash offer and go with buckets there.

Lyudmila, with which I scored an equal number of berries per day, decides to sell them on the market. Take the analysis and book a place did not take much time. But I demanded money: to check the radiation gave half-liter berries and almost 3 rubles, the counter on a popular row cost 4 rubles.

Come, try free! - Suddenly, a colleague screamed for me. - Buy, you will not regret! Only a good word to remember!

In general, sells skillfully - people suspended from our fit, it is interested in price. Faster all the semi-liter cutters of blueberries for 3 rubles. But by the end of the day they left and lithing banks - One was sold for 6, another for 7 rubles.

They did not fool, but earned decently, - we conclude, calculating the profit. - If you deduct the cost of organizing a marketplace, clean 90 rubles per 15 kg of berries.

This is still a little earned, newcomers, - the seller is grinning for the next counter. She sells raspberries, but also about the blueberries, everything is finely knowing. - I have a friend who for the berry season earns to 4 thousand rubles earn. True, chittrate: disrupts the berries by the combine, for the day such a barbaric method collects from 20 kg.

During the experiment, I briefly felt myself a businessman, but a little joy from such revenue: there worked ten hours, and now I just want to lie down and relax. The sake of interest found out how much profit was received by a woman who collected a blueberry combine. That only half a day gathered 15 kg of berries and sold the road - received 120 rubles profits.

To trade the gifts of the forest in the market, you need to have a certificate of passed fluorography, pass the blueberries on the analysis (it does not take much time), after which you can rent the counter.

Mushroom theme

Despite complaints of many berries on a meager harvest, scientists are not so pessimistic. The situation with the gifts of nature comments on Tatyana Moiseeva, Researcher of the Forest Institute of the National Academy of Sciences:

There are no catastrophes this year. Last season, the case was much worse: because of the frosts of the blueberry did not have time to fouling and tie the fruits. This spring was warm. Then drought replaced with abundant rains. In many areas of the Minsk and Grodno regions, the monthly rate of precipitation fell over the first half of July, and in the Brest district - almost two month norms. Blueberries in our forests are, but a good harvest will not meet everywhere. Large berries can be found on swamp areas, in the pine berries smaller. Warm rainy weather Was in the country and this week.

Tatyana Moiseeva notes: if it were not for the long-awaited showers, the blueberry bushes would be dried.

Yes, and Cranberry could get shy and leave us without a crop. But the weather spared - these berries should be a lot. The same with a lingonberry. True, in recent years, we will meet this berry in the northern part of the country. In the Gomel region, lingonberries are very small.

Those who actively earn the dotters of the forest may not worry because of the crop mushrooms. There were heavy rains, the soil was well hidden. If so go further, the mushrooms will be backed in August and September. Tatyana Moiseeva encourages: already now in the forests there are white mushrooms, boosions, brewers, chanterelles, raw materials, summer whale. According to forecasts, the autumn mushrooms will have a lot. So, the market price does not bash. By the way, today in the popular Minsk seasonal kilogram Blueberry costs 6-7 rubles, forest blueberries - 8-9 rubles, loaming of chanterelles and booms - 12 and 10 rubles, respectively.
