Successful Development of Rural Areas in Northeastern Bulgaria by Creating and Implementing a Software Product for Milk and Dairy Producers

Abstract

A large portion of the territory of Bulgaria, more than 80%, falls within the so-called rural areas. The situation is similar with the European Union, with more than 85% of its territory falling within these specific areas, whereas rural areas in the United States of America encompass more than 90% of the territory of the states. Naturally certain nuance differences exist in the definitions that different countries in the world use to define an area as a rural area and this report reviews these specifics. A portion of these particular activities are related to the development of livestock breeding and the production of milk and dairy derivatives. The purpose of this report is to encompass and analyze the advantages of the creation, the implementation and approbation of software product in the production and processing of milk and dairy products in Northeastern Bulgaria. Several main conclusions have been made in the scientific report, with the general conclusion being that on the basis of the computer program developed and implemented in practice, an easier method of work is ensured, while taking into account the specific pre-production and production processes, as well as processing operations in the area of dairy production and the creation of complete dairy products with added value.
