The objectives of the paper are to identify the main trends of fruits market. Statistical data regarding demand, supply and prices provided by the Romanian National Institute of Statistics has been analyzed. The findings show that both demand and supply increased. Imports decreased in the last years, as well as its contribution to total supply. Differences between quantities purchased on the market and quantities consumed can be observed, for all species of fruits. It shows that self-consumption remains a feature of fruits market in Romania, as it was in the previous period. Forecasts of fruits consumption show a decreasing trend, which has negative implications to human health and markets transactions
