Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the poultry meat and egg market in Romania in the period 2002–2024 to reveal the degree of this sector competitiveness. Several economic indicators were taken into consideration for the purpose of this study: inventories, production quantity and value, consumption, as well as trade – exports, imports, balance in value and quantity terms, geographical orientation of the trade flows. The results of the study reveal that in the post-accession period, Romanian poultry meat and eggs became two of the few staples that reached self-sufficiency and were able to enter the international export markets with positive results. Trade was oriented mainly to EU partners, and egg balance trade became positive in 2023–2024. Still, there are some important challenges to the future development of the industry, such as the Avian Influenza free-range, animal welfare regulations (e.g. transition to free-range farms) and other environmental concerns that are likely to increase the costs, while the production is expected to further increase due to growing demand.
