Burley variety Pelagonec CMS F1 was approved by the State Commission of the Ministry of Agriculture in 2010. Its stable and high yields and typical Burley characteristics make this variety attractive both for the farmers and for manufacturers. In the present conditions, it can play a role of initial variety for restarting the production of Burley tobacco in R. Macedonia, but it can be also interesting for our neighboring countries and wider.
