Summary/Abstract: The agriculture is an industry depending strongly on natural conditions and climate, which are among the main factors causing variations and losses in yields and production. Besides, there are other sources along with natural unfavorable conditions leading to variations in yields, as the most common are the plant diseases, the occurrence of various pests, as well as inappropriate agricultural technologies used by the producers. The reduction and containing the consequences of production risk in agriculture is among the main challenges in the context of the future CAP and the „Green“ deal in the EU for a more environmental friendly agriculture. The precision agriculture should be perceived not only as a tool to improve production efficiency, but also as a tool for managing the risk of inappropriate and bounded production decisions. The aim of the paper is through a deterministic factor analysis to evaluate the impact of various factors influencing the variations in the production of major crops in Bulgaria and to assess the effect that precision agriculture would have to prevent losses from these variations.
