Summary/Abstract: In our paper we investigate how to adjust the Romanian agriculture to challenges of EU accession. In spite of the shortness of that period, our data base has already made possible to conclude statements. The export-import balance of agricultural products and foods have become worse after the EU accession, but less than the whole foreign trade balance. The proportion of agriculture in GDP and employment and also in consumption declined. But there is not change in trends: these processes have begun before the accession. The trends in changing of production structure also continued: proportion of crop production was increasing compared to animal husbandry. But the figures of farm structure are strange and unexpected ones: the proportion of smallest farms have increased meanwhile the proportion of biggest ones have declined in both number and land using.
