Cereals represent a very important sector in Romania taking into account that in 2023 the total area cultivated with cereals was 5,168,467 hectares and the total production of cereals was 20,784,656 tons. This paper aims to present the branch of cereal sector from the Romania’s 8 Development Regions, analyzing the following indicators: area cultivated, production and the average production per hectare for the following crops: cereals for grains, wheat, maize and barley. The present paper gives a special attention to the analyze of all of the indicators at the 8 Development Regions level from Romania. We used data for the period 2014-2023, provided by the National Institute of Statistics. Through the most cultivated cereals in Romania, in 2023, are cereals for grains (5.168.467 hectares) and wheat (2.317.692 hectares), while the highest production, in 2023, is in case of cereals for grains (2.0784.656 tons) and wheat (9.624.074 tons). The results of the present paper reveal which are the Development Region with the highest surface cultivated with each crop and also the Development Region with the highest production of the four crops analyzed. South-Muntenia Development Region is the most important regarding the area cultivated and also regarding the production of cereals in general and also for wheat, maize and barley.
