On this occasion, it was found that, at the control carried out in September 2024, the economic operator made available to the control team supporting documents by which he would not exceed the quantity of 1,500 kg truffles that he had the right to harvest, purchase or market. In fact, from the analysis presented by ANAF-DGAF Bucharest, it turned out that, during 2024, the respective company collected/purchased the quantity of 19.197.20 kg truffles, the difference of 17,697.2 kg edible mushrooms-truffles being collected/acquired illegally ‘, it is stated in a statement of the Facebook page.
