Agriculture traditionally played a significant role in the Bulgarian economy. Before the present decade, Bulgaria was a major exporter of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables within Eastern and Central Europe. While the Bulgarian government has progressed rapidly since 1997, the delay in reforms has rendered Bulgarian food products as noncompetitive on the international market. Also, many important components of the transition are not completed. This report reviews the recent history and current state of Bulgarian agriculture and agroindustry. It examines the status of the sectoral reforms program, including reforms affecting pricing and trade, rural finance, land markets, and agroindustry, with emphasis on evaluating its progress toward meeting the criteria for EU accession. It highlights the tremendous advances made recently, and also suggests an agenda for prioritizing the remaining obstacles. This report is intended for agricultural scientists, public officials, politicians, agricultural and agroindustrial leaders, economic researchers and others interested in the transformation of agriculture in the transition economies and in issues pertaining to accession of Central and East European candidate countries to the European Union.

Extract: A set of economic reforms called the New Economic Mechanism (NEM) was introduced in Bulgaria in 1979 in an attempt to reverse a decade of slowing prouction growth and escalating costs. The NEM was intended to spur productivity increases by decentralizing management, giving individual production units more control over production and input decisions, and tying enterprise income and workers' wages more closely to production results. However, in the 4 years since its implementation the NEM has not yet been fully implemented. Decisionmaking is still highly centralized, and unprofitable firms continue to be subsidized. While production growth has been respectable, it has been achieved at great cost to the Bulgarian economy as input costs have continued to rise.

Agricultural law is a modern discipline that contains elements of public and private law. It imposes the direction in which rules are developed to determine in turn the economic effects and the real issues of the farmers.This book focuses on the current state of the agricultural sector in Bulgaria. In this way, the important but indirect dependence between agricultural lands, food sovereignty and bio-security is highlighted. It will be interesting for all those who are looking for new and non-conservative approaches in agriculture. Agricultural land is a primary factor of production. It must be distributed fairly in order to make the system in which farmers exist favorable and competitive. Accordingly, it determines long-term stability in all related markets. Food sovereignty is associated with the ability to use cheap and environmentally friendly resources. Bio-security in agriculture is mandatory. At the same time, it should not be excessive. The balance between preventive measures and economic benefits should help small and medium farmers as well as their families. The book presents a new methodology for assessing the proportionality of precautionary measures in agriculture.
