Оpportunities for the implementation of a digitalization strategy in the north eastern planning region of Bulgaria, in the field of the agricultural sector

Digitalization is one of the main priorities of Europe and the European Union in the field of agriculture. It makes a large number of work processes much easier and less time-consuming. By digitalization, we mean the digital representation and digital form of the signal with which the defined tasks reach us. In modern practice, digitized data are in the form of binary numbers that facilitate computer processing in the agricultural sector. The objective we set in this paper is to find out whether digitization is applicable in a wide range as one of the successful strategies in the North East planning region in the agricultural sector in Bulgaria. To achieve this goal, we have used methods of extrapolation, deduction, induction, method of pre-structured interview, survey method and also methods of analysis and synthesis. The results we arrive at can be used with success by software companies developing specialized software for the agrarian sphere, as well as by agrarian companies wishing to put such software into practice. In addition, they can be used by all scientists and specialists in the field of digital transformation and development of the agricultural sector, both in Bulgaria and abroad.
