Summary/Abstract: The process of restructuring of the agricultural sector in Bulgaria, which is characterized by a large number of unproductive small farms, can be stimulated to diversify the activities by encouraging the development of bioenergy. The investment in production facilities for the production of bioenergy is an important tool for improving competitiveness and potential for enhancing the economic performance in manufacturing and businesses in rural areas. This helps increase the viability of the rural economy in Bulgaria, which is currently heavily dependent on agriculture. The purpose of this article is to present and analyze opportunities for bioenergy production as a precondition for improving the viability of rural areas in Bulgaria.
