Abstract

This paper aims to be an X-ray of agriculture in Hunedoara county, beginning with an analysis of agricultural holdings, land fund structure, structure of agricultural activities, population employed in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and ending up with the value of agricultural output. The agricultural rural area of Hunedoara county is mostly covered by pastures and meadows, while forests and forest vegetation prevail in the non-agricultural area of the county. Cereal grains are mainly grown, maize and wheat being the main cereals. Sheep is the prevailing species in the livestock herds, being the only species in which an upward trend can be noticed. In the case of meat production, only pig meat showed an upward trend, while milk and egg productions remained constant throughout the investigated period. The population employed in agriculture decreased 2.6 times, while the value of agricultural output had the highest value in the year 2021 compared to the entire analysed period.
