Abstract: EU membership has provided favorable opportunities for increasing the competitiveness and efficiency of Bulgarian agriculture. One of these options is the funding provided by the European funds and programs. Another possibility for financing the farmer is mainly through loans from commercial banks in Bulgaria. National funding from the budget is allocated in small amounts, complementing the levels of European support. The aim is to bring out the main sources of financing in agriculture in Bulgaria and to highlight problems in their use. Different methods are used in the study - statistical analysis, synthesis and comparative method. The results are interpreted in the context of the considered scientific problems.
