GIS based analysis of tomato and pepper growing regions in Bulgaria

Tomato and pepper production is priority branch of horticulture. In the last few years the agricultural lands with main vegetable crop were dynamic and unsustainable. Uncompetitive capacity of market system, unorganized and wrong land use has resulted in degradation scenario of horticultural output. In this study tomato and pepper areas under cultivation and yields in Bulgaria for the period 2008 to 2012 were analyzed and assessed. The results are presented by GIS tool in accordance with common classification of territorial units in Bulgaria. The GIS analysis has been applied in a wide variety of situations for defining and managing processes. On the base of assessment of statistical information, it was created a map of regions with dynamic combine graphs of the areas under cultivation and yields. Obtained from the analysis results, determined South Central Region as a major tomato and pepper production region. This GIS based analysis will be helpful for the farmers to make an appropriate decision for management practices. The results will be higher yields according to EU directives and production quality
