Summary
This paper focuses on the agricultural business in Bulgaria and the perspectives for its successful development and promotion in the context of global competition and positive aspects of cluster organizations. In the first place, it scrutinizes the problems that the sector has been experiencing since the political and economical changes in 1989 and the new challenges it faces nowadays such as competitive improvement, value added and communication as well as internal business environment and country’s EU membership. Some crucial theoretical points in cluster formation are outlined in order to answer the question why such collaboration is useful and even necessary for the growth of local economy and resources optimization. The second part examines several examples exposed in connection with the local practices in clustering, social responsibility, the so called “cause marketing”, the benefits of active communication as well as cultural and wine tourism development which has been gaining popularity especially among the young generation of consumers.
