RISK MANAGEMENT IN PRODUCTION STRUCTURES – REALITIES, CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Abstract
Agriculture is Bulgaria's oldest and most traditional industry. It has gone through many processes that have shaped and help explain its current state. In the recent past, the return of land to its owners has had a strong impact on farms and their development. In Bulgaria, risk management in agricultural production structures is a relatively new issue with great potential for development. The aim of the study is to assess the realities, problems and opportunities in risk management within the production structures of Bulgarian agriculture. A PESTEL analysis was carried out, and the results confirm the hypothesis that agriculture is a high-risk sector with elements that are dynamic.
