Abstract

Providing financial resources through lending by commercial banks is one of the main sources of funding for farmers and agriculture in Bulgaria. Practice shows, that loans for working capital mainly derive from the seasonal and campaigning nature of agricultural production. Turnover credits are mainly aimed at carrying out the current agricultural activity of the farmer. The granted investment credits have a longer term and are mainly related to the implementation of the investment projects from the RDP measures, for the most part they are aimed at the implementation of European funding. Banks seek to gain the trust of farmers and become their partners not only through the allocation of financial resources but also through assistance and counseling in the preparation of their project proposals.
