STATE REGULATION OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF THE BULGARIAN ECONOMY IN THE CONDITIONS OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION

Abstract

The article discloses the experience of state regulation of the agricultural sector of the Bulgarian economy in the conditions of European integration. An analysis of the historical conditions of the formation of the state agrarian policy of Bulgaria was carried out, with the aim of determining the regularities of the mechanisms of state administration and regulation of the development of agrarian relations in the conditions of European integration. In the course of the research, a wide methodological toolkit was used, in particular, methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization, unity of logical and historical approaches, comparative-legal, historical-legal and formal-legal.

The scientific novelty consists in the study of the Bulgarian experience of the basics of state regulation of the agricultural sector of the Bulgarian economy and the justification of proposals for improving the mechanisms of state regulation of agriculture in Ukraine, which will allow to resolve the contradictions of the development of the agrarian sphere in the conditions of integration into the European historical space.

Conclusions. The article, based on the study of the experience of agrarian transformations in Bulgaria in the conditions of European integration, studies the regularities of state regulation and management in the conditions of European integration. In European countries, the agricultural sector is not a self-sufficient sector of the economy. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure functional and effective support of the state for the comprehensive development of agriculture. The beginning of reforming agriculture was carried out by implementing a strategy and a system of state support mechanisms for the agrarian sector of the Bulgarian economy. By implementing a set of state management measures in the agrarian sphere, the Bulgarian economy solved the problem of stagnation in agriculture, strengthened the state's interaction with agricultural producers, and maintained a stimulating effect on the industry. It has been established that an alternative method of supporting agricultural producers, in the context of Bulgaria's European integration aspirations, can be state lending mechanisms.
