Economic Indicators for Sustainable Development of Bulgarian Agricultural Sector - 1990-2007

The above conclusions give us grounds to assess that the agricultural sector in Bulgaria is reducing its economic role in the national economy by slowing down its growth. The problem with the downward trend in the overall indicators in absolute terms is the result of interrelated reasons within the sector – structural, market, production, land resource and investment, which leads to inefficiency and low competitiveness. This is sufficient grounds to accept the hypothesis that the agricultural sector is economically inefficient and uncompetitive and is a problem for the development of the economy as a whole and to assess it as economically unsustainable.
