IMPROVEMENT OF NATIONAL STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK IN ORGANIC PRODUCTION AND MANAGEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA
Abstract
The study examines organic sector development in
the Republic of Bulgaria, as a sector showing significant growth in last ten
years, in the context of its potential and contribution for sustainable rural
development. Identification and analyses of the main factors in organic farming
development reveal its positive characteristics but also underline the main
problems in its development in the country as: lack of information,
communication and coordination between stakeholders in the country; spontaneous
and unsubstantiated management decisions in organic holdings; lack of strategic
planning on all the levels (national, local and organizational). Lead by the
implication that sector development should be first encouraged and shaped by
appropriate state policies and strategies, the paper makes proposals for new
instruments and approaches in the strategic planning on the national level
accenting business environment, institutional support and administrative
activities, production peculiarities, marketing realities, knowledge and
advisory services’ needs, information provision and motivation.
