Abstract

This article reveals the discrepancy and the non-convergence, still significant, between the Romanian agriculture and the agricultures of the EU states. Following the restitution of the agricultural land to the former owners at the beginning of 1990s, the small size holdings have reached a significant percentage in the Romanian agriculture. Although the total number of agricultural holdings in Romania diminished with 626,000 between 2005-2013, Romania is one of the EU countries with the most numerous agricultural holdings. In 2013, it had more than a third of the total number of agricultural holdings of the EU (33.5%), which perpetuates and amplifies the low economic performance. The particularities of the structural adjustment of the Romanian agricultural economy, compared to the evolution in the other EU member states, indicate a high level of structural divergences, that may lead to a low impact of common agricultural policies and it cannot act like a source of economic growth and improved productivity.
