Following the research carried out within the ADER 2412 project, entitled Research on the economic efficiency of raising sheep, goats, dairy and beef cattle and buffaloes, quantitative data were collected, analyzing the activity of livestock farms located in different counties in Romania , regarding different characteristics: farm size, level of milk production obtained, yields recorded at the farm level, degree of productivity, level of expenditure and income, break- even point. Based on the centralized data, a series of economic and financial indicators were calculated to determine the feasibility of the livestock farm, depending on the county in which it operates, such as: income rate (with or without access to subsidies) , profit rate, exploitation risk rate, security index. In this paper, the emphasis is on the prototype of farms where negative economic results are recorded, in the sense that the factors that determined their identification are identified, thus outlining a series of recommendations to achieve and increase economic effectiveness and efficiency. at farm level.

Within the COASTAL project (Collaborative Land-Sea Integration Platform), funded by GA 773782, through Horizon 2020, six different coastal regions in Europe are analyzed, in order to study the synergy between rural and maritime economic activities, in order to generate policies and solutions for the business environment, respecting the environment, improving the living standards of the inhabitants, increasing the area from an economic point of view. Regarding Romania, the area of interest on which the case study is carried out is the Danube Delta. After analyzing the literature, meetings with stakeholders working in both coastal and rural areas, we tried to model through specific software programs of economic activities in the Danube Delta: agriculture, fishing and rural tourism. In this paper we will present the main results obtained from the empirical and theoretical perspective through which we looked at the activity of rural tourism in the area of interest.

An efficient agriculture is a basic branch of a strong economic system, regardless of the country referred to. All the more we can say this in the case of Romania, taking into account the fact that our country enjoys favorable climatic and pedological conditions for the practice of agriculture, at a high level of productivity. Agriculture is a widely debated topic both in specialized papers, published internationally and domestically, and in various national or European research projects. This is also the case of the project included in the Horizon 2020 program, COASTAL-Collaborative Land-Sea Integration Platform, financed by financing contract number 773782, in which agriculture is treated as a reference economic activity of the Danube Delta coastal area, along with rural tourism. In this paper are analyzed factors that have been delimited by specialists and operators in the field as determinants for specific agriculture in the Danube Delta area.

Within the present paper, some of the most important representative factors for the standard of living of the population in the south-eastern region of our country will be analyzed. It is also desired to present an overview of the current situation regarding the labor market in the territory of this region and the elements that define this market: the degree of development of the area, the supply and demand on the labor market, socio-demographic factors, economic factors .Starting with the 1990s, after the austere communist period, at the national level, from the point of view of the standard of living Romania has stood at a considerable distance from the average recorded at the level of the other European Member States, although, in the last decades, there have been transformations various social-economic level. According to the data, almost half of the population of Romania (40% on average) is affected by the risk of being on the verge of poverty. In order to carry out the present work, the main data used were taken from specialized databases, such as Eurosat, TempoOnline (database of the National Institute of Statistics) and others.

The present paper aims to explore the contribution and implications of Romania to the development of the Danube region over the years, focusing on the interactions between internal and international factors. From the analyzed ones, we can affirm the fact that the internal factors play a secondary role in the development of the strategies, the majority role holding the international factors. Regarding the present and future strategies established at European level we can conclude that in their formulation the awareness should be extended to the perceptions of the local communities in the area, thus analyzing their identity, cultural heritage, economic and social potential of the analyzed areas. During the paper will analyze aspects such as: historical, geographical and socio-cultural context, the economic importance of the Danube in the European context, the European institutional framework for the international use of the Danube, the Strategy of the European Union at the level of the Danube region, national aspects related to the Danube Delta region.

According to the concept of efficient economic growth, it is important that the sustainable development strategy in Romania take into account the constantly changing economic and social factors, both at national and international level. Unfortunately, taking into consideration the Danube region in Romania, we find several obstacles like the low level of the growth regarding the infrastructure in the area, the psycho-social characteristics of the population, the professional training degree, the crisis economic, superficiality in the work done by certain local public administrations. Of course, the factors enumerated above influence among other economic activities and the tourism activity in the area of interest. Being one of the important sources of income for the Danube population in Romania, both traditional and industrial tourism affect the labor market, with phenomena such as population migration or high unemployment rate. This paper presents the current trend in tourism and labor market in counties such as Braila, Constanta, Tulcea, Galati, Ialomita, using the online statistical databases. We will also analyze, using different statistical indicators, the degree of impact and the correlations existing between the economic tourism activity and the characteristics of the labor market, {"references":["[1]Bălan, M., 2016, Traditional and industrial tourism – vectors of growth clusters for employment in the countries of the macro-Danube Region, Clusters as drivers of value chain development across the Danube Region, Editura Economică, București: pp.225 - 240.","[2] Dezvoltare teritorială durabilă a teritoriului Dunării din România, 2012, Document de Consultare, pag. 5, retrieved at http://www.mdrap.ro/userfiles/espon/ dimensiune _teritoriala/reuniune2/materiale05.pdf, July 15, 2018.","[3]Erdeli, G., Dincă, A.I., 2011, Tourism – A vulnerable strength in the protected areas of the Romanian Carpathians, Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences Vol. 19: pp.190–197","[4] EUSDR – European Union Strategy for the Danube Region, Priority Area 3 - Danube Region Strategy Culture and Tourism, retrieved at https://www.danubecultureandtourism.eu/, July 15, 2018.","[5]Hall, D., Richards G.

The tobacco market in Romania has seen a significant increase regarding the size of the areas covered by this industrial crop and production. One of the key factors underpinning this statement is the volume of forms of financial support under the PAC 2014-2020 for this crop. It is well known that among the National Transitional Aid for the Vegetable Sector, the tobacco subsidy (ANT 4) provides the highest amounts per hectare cultivated. In this paper we will evaluate the relationship between production variables, existing surfaces on the tobacco market and, on the other hand, the volume of subsidies granted to us in the country using statistical analysis methods using SPSS and Microsoft Excel.

This paper aims to present the sugar beet and sugar market from a marketing perspective, both at national and european level, taking into account the main elements of the custom marketing mix on the sugar beet and sugar market (product, price, promotion, distribution) as well as the characteristics of demand and supply on the market of interest, represented by the consumption registered respectively by the number of economic agents and beet production at national level. We also want to show where we situated in Europe, in terms of the value of beet production at producer price. Once these issues have been analyzed statistically and interpreting the data gathered, the paper aims to highlight the strengths and weaknesses identified at market level by conducting a SWOT analysis.

This paper aims to highlight the importance of applying and administering fertilizers to wheat production at national level. As far as the territory of our country is concerned, the regions on which the most important wheat production has been registered, along with the amount of fertilizers administered in the respective areas, as well as their type (nitrogenous, phosphatic, potassium, natural) fertilizers. Thus, using statistical models such as the Pearson correlation coefficient, Spearman's correlation coefficient, we can see concretely the link between the two variables analyzed (the production obtained and the quantity of applied fertilizer) and the nature of its intensity (low, medium, high). It is also desirable to know the most efficient types of fertilizer in order to increase wheat yield per hectare at national level in the context of the other key factors, components of the farm's macroeconomics.

The wheat crop is very important worldwide and the wheat demand is expected to increase in the future, as a result of the population number growth and dietary changes. So, the wheat production grow represents a significantchallenge that the agriculture must face with, in order to ensure the food security at the global level. In the European Union there are important concerns to identify and assess the current factors that influence and determine the wheat production level and it's efficient valorification. In this paper are presented such significant factors, of different types, as follows: environmental, technological, management, market, taken into consideration producers and farmers current points of view. The personal contribution of the author includes graphical representations, which are useful for technological factors modeling and assessment, realized using adequate software tools.
