USAGE CHARACTERISTICS OF FARMLAND IN AGRICULTURAL EXPLOITATIONS

Summary/Abstract: Subsistence agricultural exploitations are over two thirds of the total small sized farms in Romania, a number up to three times higher than other countries of the region, even though the number of small sized farms has diminished in recent years, according to the National Institute of Statistics. In this stage, the purpose of structural adjustment in agriculture is upgrading equipment while creating an economic size of exploitations which enables increasing production, reducing costs and ensures market competitiveness and efficiency. For the Romanian agriculture to go from subsistence to competitiveness, significant costs are needed for the concentration of property. Thus, land exploitation must be carried out on optimum-sized areas.
