Chocolate is one of the most delicious and popular desserts on earth, but for many people around the world, it is also a serious industry. It is made from cocoa beans that grow on cocoa trees. Historians believe that chocolate consumption dates back before Columbus discovered North America, mainly in Central American societies, where it has been used for more than five millennia. Archaeological excavations prove that in Costa Rica, the Mayans drank cocoa about 400 B.C. Today, however, chocolate production and consumption is a complex commercial task that covers manufacturers and trade networks around the world. The number of cocoa miners in the world is over 14 million people. Almost 35% of the cocoa beans originate in Côte d'Ivoire. This article aims to analyze the main problems and difficulties in the world's cocoa-producing countries as well as to compare the producers, importers and exporters of cocoa and chocolate products in the European Union, including Bulgaria, by focusing on the change in production and consumption over the last years to highlight main trends and dependencies.

Poultry farming has always been a major part of animal husbandry in every country. Bulgaria is no exception and has a long-standing tradition in the breeding and production of various types of poultry. In reality, our country was mainly producing chickens, laying hens and eggs in the beginning, but was also successful in the breeding of ducks, turkeys, geese, yurts and other feathered more extravagant species, such as quails, ostriches, pheasants, etc. The main purpose of this article is to analyze the production of different types of poultry in Bulgaria for a sufficiently long period of 9 years, to be able to predict trends and changes that may occur in different types of poultry in the country and to determine not only which ones shall have a leading role for specific regions in Bulgaria, but also the ways to increase their effective production in the direction of closing the production and sales cycle with poultry products processing and reaching the end customer. The article uses methods of situation analysis, time series analysis, induction, deduction, extrapolation, trend derivation and logical dependencies, method of adding value and creating a final product.

The paper aims to examine rural entrepreneurship and the way it is enhanced by the EAFRD programme. The specific focus is on the perceptions and entrepreneurial behaviour of beneficiaries of hospitality and rural tourism projects in Bulgaria. The findings imply that participants demonstrate various entrepreneurship initiatives and call for closer cooperation with the local institutions, in order to maximize the overall effects. Involvement of higher public authorities, or programmes (such as EAFRD) considerably enhances rural entrepreneurship by providing a chance for potential entrepreneurs to start-up their own venture, and by determining general goals, which will affect both people and local institutions.

Bulgaria is an agrarian country and this is not only a personal assertion or a statement, nor is it just a stand on the matter. In our country, for many years, there have been long traditions in the production of cereal plants and oilseed crops. In Northeast Bulgaria - General Toshevo region, in 1951, Dobrudzha Agricultural Research Institute was established, which is known today as Dobrudzha Agricultural Institute, and it performs selection in the field of wheat varieties and sunflower seeds production. The agricultural land in Bulgaria is cultivated and cropped with seeds of high quality, which results in good harvest of cereals and oilseed crops. The chief purpose of this paper is to establish the indicators that can guarantee a sustainable use of the land resources in our country for production of cereal plants and oilseed crops throughout a long period of development and to analyze the dynamics in the process of their use.
