Is Self-reliance possible?An Investigation into the Romanian Sugar Industry’s Ability to cover domestic Consumption

Summary/Abstract: This study investigates the degree to which Romania is able to produce the quantity of sugar necessary for domestic consumption. The results of our research can be used to improve the situation of the sugar industry of Romania, which is difficult at the moment: Romania has become the largest sugar importer of South-Eastern Europe, while it used to be an exporter. We have shown that Romania is fully able to meet its domestic consumption requirements, provided that sugar beet cultivators are encouraged to produce this plant, that the modernization of Romanian factories is completed and that there are no negative effects of EU policies on beet producers and on the Romanian sugar industry. The study was carried out by using a variety of sources, like specialized publications, EU and Romanian regulations, research studies and internet sources, as well as our own calculations
