Abstract: The labor productivity in our agriculture and the competitiveness of agricultural products are lower than the other EU countries. The labor productivity in the agriculture is about three times smaller than the other
sectors of the national economy and 12% of the average for EU-25. One of the main reasons for small labor productivity in the agricultural sector of Bulgaria is a low supply with agricultural machinery, as well as its technical status and effective use. Many factors influence on the effective use of agricultural machinery, including the size of using area. The size of using area of agricultural farms varies in large limits. In the study are calculated the theoretical coefficient of utilization of the working time and the labor productivity at lengths of working field 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 m and the allowable minimum-maximum working speed for of the mass used tractors and sowing machines.The research show the increase of the labor productivity is from 2.6 to 4.3 times.
