Abstract: The purpose of this article is to examine some indicators characterizing agricultural producer organizations in Bulgaria in the light of European measures to achieve a fairer food supply chain and, on this basis, to consider opportunities to promote the development of such structures in the country. The number of structures of this type established in Bulgaria sharply increases when the organizations have the opportunity to receive public support, which is not related to a requirement for financial participation of the farmers themselves in the implementation of their planned activities. The established organizations have a small number of members and realize a relatively low share of the production created in the relevant sector. Under these conditions, a political approach to support that part of producer organizations that help limit market risk is essential.
