ABSTRACT
The main spatial characteristics of the geographical environment of the Pazardzhik region provide diverse opportunities for the development of a number of activities in the primary sector of the economy. In its central parts, viticulture plays a leading role in agricultural specialization, which has centuries-old traditions since antiquity.
The main focus of this study is aimed at studying the leading conditions and resources for the development of grape production and its modern spatial organization within the scope of the Pazardzhik region. Special attention is paid to the geographical scope and production specialization, of the formed viticultural micro districts in the studied territory. The study concludes with defining the main challenges in the development of viticulture and the possibilities for overcoming them in the future.
