Abstract

Subject matter of scientific research are basic issues of the specialization of greenhouse vegetable production in national and regional aspect. The methodology used contains a system of indicators for establishing and characterizing the sectoral and regional specialization of greenhouse vegetable production (conventional and biological) in Bulgaria. In the present study the assessment at the level of specialization was done using the indicators approved in the economic literature: coefficient of the sectoral structure of the regional economy; location factor of the sectors in the region and absolute regional specialization coefficient. Finally, it is noted that the practical use of regional specialization would allow competent policy makers to draw up a science-based strategy for establishing national agrarian priorities as an initial stage in developing a unified national doctrine on agricultural development.
