Abstract: The governance is with rising importance and interesting topic from a scientific and practical point of view. The different schools and theories understand the governance notion from a wide perspective. By examining the vast scope of scientific theoriesa holistic structure of agrarian governance is proposed. Adopting this structural holistic approach, an assessment of the Bulgarian agricultural governance is carried out. The structural framework of governance is set up by Components - Principles – Principleaspects. By implementation of a multi-indicator estimation, the governance assessment is carried out througha good governance perspective. The integral Governance Index (GIi) of Bulgarian agriculture is measured and the estimated result allows to define the agrarian governance at a moderate level. It means that the governance of Bulgarian agriculture performs in a moderate state, very close and similar to the average EU fulfillments in the elaborated components and principles. The notion of the governance assessment is to manifest what the state of Bulgarian agriculture is and how the existing entity runs. This analysis of governance allows to look for connecting the direct outcomes of Bulgarian agriculture with the governance state and functioning as well as to identify the externalities and consequences, which emerge in the agriculture running process.
