Organic Farming in Bulgaria: Trends and Opportunities for 2026

Organic farming continues to grow in Bulgaria at double-digit rates. What are the prospects and how are European programs supporting the sector.

Organic farming in Bulgaria has seen steady growth in recent years. By the end of 2025, certified organic areas exceeded 200,000 hectares, representing 4% of total agricultural land.

The European Union continues to set ambitious targets — 25% organic area by 2030 under the Farm to Fork strategy. This opens significant opportunities for Bulgarian producers.

The Rural Development Programme offers specific measures for organic producers, including payments for conversion to organic production and investment support.
