Romanian agriculture experiences a reduced competitiveness compared with the results obtained within the European Union and the main agricultural countries in the area. This feature may be seen both from the average productions of the main agricultural cultures and from the average yield of zootechnics.

The causes are multiple, ranging from the excessive land crumbling, agricultural exploitations that produce mainly for self-consumption, the lack of professional training of many farmers and the insufficiency of agricultural consultancy and of implementation of research results into production.
