Summary/Abstract: Bulgaria is one of the leading exporters of agricultural crops in Southeast Europe. Though smaller than their neighbours, Bulgarian farmers have a long tradition of growing all main cereals and oil crops, including wheat, maize, sunflower (in 2020 Bulgaria was the seventh largest exporter in the world), rape seed, barley and others. The main objective of the current study is to determine the nature of the considered processes for the production and export of main cereals and oil crops from Bulgaria and to study their sustainability. This is achieved by calculating the coefficients of sustainability of the specific indicators characterizing the processes. Determined is also whether the distribution of the main countries – trading partners is specific. Based on the obtained results, conclusions are drawn about the sustainability of the production and the export of main cereals and oil crops from Bulgaria.
