Summary/Abstract: Food is one of the vital human needs and everything that is alive. In human nutrition, vegetables play a major role, bringing the body an important supply of vitamins, minerals and fibers. Therefore, horticulture is an important branch of the economy, especially since the Romanian people are one of the largest consumers of vegetables in Europe. Unfortunately, it is noted that the value of vegetable imports exceeds that of exports, although our country has the potential to offer a much higher of vegetables yield. The present research aims to outline some possibilities for increasing the economic efficiency of vegetable growing in Romania. For this purpose, the authors propose a number of possibilities, including increasing areas for growing vegetables in protected areas, gradually increasing vegetable production and export, lowering vegetable imports and bringing prices of exported vegetables closer to those imported.
