A pistachio plantation has been planted for the first time in Bulgaria near Sandanski (Southwest Bulgaria). It spans 22 decares (2.2 hectares). The investment was made by a Sofia businessman, BNT reported.
The first harvest is expected within 2-3 years.

Each sapling costs around 45 leva (EUR 23). There will be video surveillance to prevent theft attempts.
