The host of the Rose Institute in Kazanlak also took part in the meeting.

In front of more than 40 rose producers in the region and 12th graders from all Kazanlak schools, Assoc. Yarkov drew attention to the new opportunities, which aim to prepare competent specialists in the branch to meet the needs of the labor market and are coordinated with the Ministry of Education.

In January 2020, the National Assembly finally adopted the long-awaited Oil Rose Act, which introduces regulation and protection of the industry. At the end of last year, UNESCO recognized Bulgaria's Rosa Damascena as part of the world's real estate. The achieved recognition for the precious flower - a symbol of Bulgaria opens new horizons for the business to advertise on the world market the qualities of rose oil products and to take their worthy place.
