2020 Agricultural Census Confirms Farm Consolidation and Growth

In 2020, Bulgaria conducted an agricultural census based on European Union (EU) regulations and Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) recommendations. Bulgaria typically conducts agricultural censuses every ten years. The recently-published 2020 census reveals that Bulgaria’s agricultural industry changed significantly during the first ten years of EU membership (since 2007) with clear trends toward commercialization and consolidation. Currently, there are 132,000 Bulgarian farms, of which the average size has tripled over the last ten years to 33 hectares (HA) per farm. About nine percent of the farms account for 85 percent of the utilized agricultural land (UAL).
