Vegetal Agricultural Production in Romania - Trends and Structural Implications.

The objective of the paper is to identify the current situation in Romania in terms of the vegetable agricultural sector, based on the data obtained from the National Institute of Statistics, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in Romania and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The research question is: how the agricultural area has been modified in the period 1990-2020 and what are the implications on vegetal origin production? In pursuing this, statistical data on agricultural areas and the productions obtained are analysed. The results of the research show that the agricultural area in Romania has decreased since 1990, as well as the agricultural production among certain products, which has implications for ensuring food security, Generally, Romania ensures its population's food security, even if in the last period the agricultural area decreased concomitantly with the production.
