    (INCE, 2022) Stoicea, Paula; Certan, Ion; Dobre, Carina Andreea; Iorga, Adina Magdalena; Chiurciu, Irina Adriana; Balan, Aurelia
    The practice of sustainable agriculture requires the adoption of legislative, economic, technical and technological measures to mitigate the effects of climate warming, with particular emphasis on the protection of the environment and biodiversity, but also on encouraging farmers to apply them, taking into account the profitability of agricultural businesses. The Common Agricultural Policy, oriented towards a number of pressing aspects, such as climate change, food security, sustainable management of natural resources and supporting rural areas, aims to maintain the vitality of their economy and preserve the environment. For this purpose, the National Strategic Plan of Romania for the period 2023-2027 includes, in the direct payments section, the eco-scheme "Beneficial practices for the environment applicable in arable land", a subsidy that can be accessed by farmers who own agricultural holdings with a minimum of 5 ha arable land, and which, for access, are conditioned by the allocation of 4% of the area held for non-productive elements, and on 5% of its area existing annual protein vegetable or leguminous crops, fixing nitrogen, which can be harvested. Also, from the specific conditions, to apply a beneficial practice for the environment, on choice: either the diversification of crops, or to practice a conservative type technology (no tillage/minimum tillage/strip tillage), or to practice fertilirigation or phase fertilization, or to apply measures to correct soil acidity (liming measures). These aspects represent a challenge for farmers, who must take into account new approaches.

    The cereal market in Romania
    (IEFS, 2011) Soare, Elena; Beciu, Silviu; Stoicea, Paula
    In Romania, the production of cereals is determined on the one hand, favourable climatic conditions and on the other hand the food consumption pattern of the population. Theimportance of grain production is demonstrated by the share of cultivated land and diversity of cereal crops. Cereals occupy a significant position in the structure of agricultural production, holding 1,2 -1,5% of world production of wheat and 1.5 -2% of the maize. In this context, this study shows the evolution of cereal crops as well as specific indicators of foreign trade trends. In terms of actual cereal production in Romania, it is not constant and therefore is often incoming imports, which have a positive impact on the evolution of the market in cereals. Imports of cereals and processed products adversely affect the trade balance. Producers, processors and distributors of cereals and cereal products face many difficulties, which most often affects the price of products, meaning its growth without the corresponding increase in quality. A conclusion is that the grain market is a market variable, which succeeds only in favourable agricultural years to cover consumption needs from domestic production. Romanian market of grain is influenced by the European market and world cereals market.

The study captures the evolution of the cultivated areas with wheat and corn, the harvested productions obtained in the period 2015-2021, as well as the yields, through the lens of the EU member states. For the analysis, was processed data provided by the official statistics website of the EU - Eurostat, by the General Directorate of AGRI, Agriculture and Rural Development, as well as by the Romanian Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

In terms of harvested productions, the ranking is the following: for wheat in first place - France, with 36,607.12 thousand tons, followed by Germany - 21,459.20 thousand tons, Poland with 11,893.55 thousand tons, and Romania - 11,386.41 thousand tons, while for corn France ranked first, with 15,285.68 thousand tons, followed by Romania - 15,186.12 thousand tons and Poland - 7,321.91 thousand tons. The study will be finalized with a series of conclusions and recommendations regarding the prospects of the sector at the European level and the role of each individual member state.
