“…The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) from 2020, as the main agricultural policy of the EU, has as objectives to ensure a decent standard of living for farmers, to provide a stable and safe food supply chain at affordable prices for consumers, as well as to ensure the development of rural areas throughout the EU [20]. Given the need to modernize and simplify, Romanian agriculture must learn to develop smartly, resiliently, sustainably, and competitively by analyzing its performance based on the influencing factors.…”

The objective of this study is to analyze the trends in agriculture and the factors affecting the output of agriculture (OA) in the EU and Romania in the context of green economy. The research used the quantitative (mathematical regression function, correlation matrix, and R-squared) and qualitative (the SWOT matrix of the agriculture sector in Romania) methods. The data on Romanian agriculture were gathered from Eurostat for the period of 2006–2019. The results showed that there is a direct and positive relationship between the OA and its influencing factors. Moreover, it revealed the negative relationships between the employees in agriculture (−0.58), air pollutants (−0.49), agriculture land (−0.42), irrigation norm (−0.39), agriculture training (−0.33) and the OA, and positive relationships between the area under organic farming (0.56), the average area per holding (0.56), the number of tractors (0.53) and the OA. Romania is a country where employment and agriculture areas are greater than in other EU countries; however, the results of our research highlight the significance of a careful analysis of the influencing factors, of making the difference between the thin line of sustainable performance, of developing new measures, of reducing risks, and of gaining new knowledge and agricultural skills, as an important activity, especially for Romania.

“…2.22 ha versus 2.27 ha, the farm size did not have effect in the sample. Burja and Burja (2016) argued that the complexity of the relationship between the farm size and the efficiency depends on a lot of economic and social factors, as the soil type, agro-climatic conditions, technology involved, available labour force, transaction costs of production factors, etc. On the other side, the efficiency analysis of the Macedonian grape producers showed negative relationship between total area and efficiency, i.e.…”

Farm economic performance measuring is important for farm management purposes and for assessing the impact of agricultural policy measures. Efficiency studies enable assessment of farm performance since highly efficient farms are considered to have higher potential for operating in a changing economic and technological environment. The aim of this paper is to assess the technical efficiency of vegetable farms in North Macedonia, utilising Data Envelopment Analysis, as a non-parametric approach estimating the relative efficiency of decision making units producing multiple outputs and using multiple inputs. The analysis is based on Farm Monitoring System data including 75 vegetable farms in 2011 survey. Apart from baseline scenario, additional scenarios include available agricultural policy support in 2011 and 2016. The average technical efficiency of vegetable farms is 0.62 considering constant returns to scale, i.e. 0.71 and 0.75 considering variable returns to scale (in output and input oriented perspective, respectively). With better farm management, technical efficiency score can be improved on average by 25%. Technical efficiency increases slightly with subsidies, on average by 2 to 3%. Analyses based on farm level data, are valuable when estimating the effects of implementation of agricultural policy as well as when creating new policy interventions.

“…As it is shown in literature (Swinnen et al, 2005;C. Burja & V. Burja, 2016;Popescu et al, 2016;Ciutacu et al, 2015;Muntean et al, 2018), Romania's competitive edge has been, for decades, the cheap labor combined with the country's geographic location and soil and climate conditions favorable to farming.…”

Analysing the impact of agricultural performance on foreign trade concentration and competitiveness defines an important step in identifying the opportunities, challenges and proactive measures in designing a functional and marked based agricultural model. The scope of this study is to investigate the evolution of Romania’s the foreign trade competitiveness and its concentration on main destinations during 2007–2016. In this context, in the paper are identified and investigated some of the competitiveness’ mutations arisen from the Romania’s trade flows concentration and restructuration in relation with 26 of the European Union member states. It was used a unique dataset on agro -food trade output and concentration across EU countries to construct measures of trade competitiveness. The results obtained suggest the existence of a dual relationship of the Romanian agriculture competitiveness and its dependence on the EU economic area, by the concentration of the commercial relationships.
