The aim of the paper is to measure the impact of CAP on the sustainability of the forestry sector in Bulgaria. In the context of the sustainability of the forest, the sector is needed to assess the impact of the CAP on the competitiveness of the sector, ecologist compliance with the sector, and its impact on social factors. The state must determine the institutional framework (including national policy and institutions for its implementation in the sector) for sustainable forest development, ensuring support for all three pillars. At present, Bulgaria has a significant forest resource – forest areas occupy more than a third of the country. The share of forests of the land used in Bulgaria increased in the last 10 years from 30.51% to 33.93%. The positive trend of the growth of forests in Bulgaria coincides with the positive growth trend of this indicator at the EU level. The growth rate of forests in Bulgaria abandons an annual average of 3% compared to the EU, further efforts are needed to develop the forestry sector to catch up with the EU average. Financial mechanisms to support forestry covered by the CAP as well as those included in the state direct sectoral support have a multiplier effect and cause secondary effects in other (related) sectors (credit, agriculture, renewable energy, tourism, and construction).
