Abstract

The research aims to analyze the evolution of the performance agro-food sector by development regions in the EU integration process. In the first part of the paper are presented the economic characteristics of Romanian agricultural sector and the most important issues and vulnerabilities in the process of increasing the competitiveness of agriculture. For setting goals, we considered relevant, on the one hand, an analysis of the evolution of macroeconomic indicators values of agriculture in Romania and their importance for the post-accession period the national economy and on the other hand, making a comparative analysis for the period post-accession by development regions of the Romanian agricultural production to major crops. To highlight the impact of Romania's accession to European Union were analyzed the evolution in crop production per hectare in the post-accession period. We analyzed the total grain production of wheat and corn by regions because these crops occupy most of the surfaces for farming in Romania. Further, have been analyzed the share of cultivated surfaces with cereals into the total arable land in the period 2007 – 2013. Evolution of production yield per hectare for analyzed crops, can indicate the level of the disparities between regions of Romania. In the paper have been identified major vulnerabilities that lead to inconsistency agricultural production Romanian 2007-2013 with proposals of some measures in order to reduce inter-regional disparities in Romanian agriculture.
