Abstract. This chapter examines the role of the Bulgarian lands within the Ottoman Empire’s grain provisioning system during the 18th century. The analysis highlights the ecological and logistical frameworks that facilitated the integration of Bulgarian agricultural resources into the broader imperial supply networks. It explores the administrative mechanisms, including taxation and regulation, that ensured a steady flow of essential commodities to key urban centers, the Ottoman army, and charitable institutions. The analysis underscores the strategic importance of the Black Sea ports and the Danube River in the transportation of grain, emphasizing the socio-economic interactions between local producers, state officials, and merchants. The study also addresses the challenges posed by environmental factors, social unrest, and economic pressures, which occasionally disrupted the supply chains. By focusing on the contribution of Bulgarian lands to the Ottoman grain provisioning system, this research provides insights into the complex interplay between local and imperial interests in sustaining the empire’s food security and political stability.
