After the restitution, fragmented land makes East European countries difficult to produce cereal crops for commercial purposes. This paper attempts to analyze the institutional approach of Bulgaria to consolidate rental land into viable farm size for mechanization. It indicated effective use of machinery leading to high yield of crops. In addition, the approach has advantages to enable youth to join farming without capitals to acquire land and to retain opportunities for pensioners to return to their home villages. The remaining issue is how commercial farming and subsistence farming can be inter-related for their coexistence within the framework of village.
