Abstract

The paper aims to analyse cereal chain productivity in Romania, EU-15 and NEU-13, highlighting the determining factors for increasing productivity and accelerating the process of productivity convergence to the European average. Together with agricultural performance indicators: utilized agricultural area, labour force in annual working units, value of agricultural production, average yield per hectare, value of agricultural production/ha, total output/annual work unit, total output/hectare, farm net value added/annual work unit, total output to total input ratio, this study also uses total factor productivity (TFP) using the Malmquist productivity index, as well as other indicators such as the pesticide use or the use of certified seeds in the cereal sector. For the comparative study of the cereal sector productivity in Romania and in EU-15 and NEU-13, we used the Pearson correlation coefficient and/or the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. The results indicate that the cereal crop sector in Romania has the potential to increase agricultural productivity and can be one of the solutions by improving the efficiency of production methods.
