Abstract

The article presents and analyzes the role of the Ministry of Agriculture in solving the existing problems in the development of the agricultural sector in Bulgaria in the interwar period. Its important role is due to the traditional agrarian nature of the economy, as well as the dominance of the rural population in social stratification – essential features of Bulgarian capitalism throughout the 1878–to–1944 period. Since its establishment in 1911 and during the interwar period, the Ministry of agriculture and state property has proved to be a contributing factor in the administrative and management system of the country. Over the decades, the Ministry of Agriculture has gone through a good deal of gradual structural and organizational transformations, as well as name changes. However, in terms of its content and functional characteristics, it has always remained one of the main units in the system of state governance in Bulgaria, as an integral part of the executive branch.
