Abstract

Village of Garmen is located оп Не westem slopes of the Rhodope Mountains and extends to the valley of the Mesta River. About half of its area is occupied by agricultural land. Because of the climate, relief аnd agrarian traditions, the production of oriental tobacco is the main livelihood for many farmers.
