The main purpose of the paper is to study the dynamics of sunflower cultivated area, the registered productions, the average yield per hectare, prices, import and export, all of these in the context of the pre- and post-accession to the European Union.The statistical data have been processed based on fixed indices and average annual growth rate. Oilseeds cultivated area has continuously increased in the analyzed period from 654,7 thousand ha in 1990 to 1.629,5 thousand ha in 2016. In the same year, sunflower cultivated area reached 1.039,8 thousand ha, being by 263,44% higher than in 1990 and 124,4% than 2007, after the postaccession to the European Union. Evolution of the cultivated area (thousand ha), yield (kg/ha) and total sunflower production (thousand tons) has been determined based on the achievements in 2007 and annual growth rate calculated for the period 2008-2016 whose values have been the following ones: for cultivated area: 2,82%; for yield: 16,42%; for production: 15,77%. Sunflower prices reflected a large variation from a year to another, but mainly a continuous increase starting from the year 2007. The increased price is justified by demand/offer ratio and by the increased demand of oilseeds in the internal and external markets. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10419/205093 Title: Development of the cattle raising sector on the long term from the perspective of trade with live animals Authors: Grodea, Mariana Abstract: In the period 2003-2017, Romania's exports of live cattle significantly increased, both in the intraCommunity area (twice) and mainly in the extra-Community area (9 times). The import from the intra-Community area, mainly consisting of reproduction animals doubled in the period 2007-2017, as against the pre-accession period. From the food security perspective, beef is not a traditional product in the Romanian consumers' diet, yet with its share of 9.3% in total meat consumption structure in the year 2016, it is an important product for dietary diversification. Of course we cannot speak for the moment about a beef market in Romania that can constantly absorb the domestic beef production at profitable prices, yet the foreign demand is sufficient for the Romanian farmers to continue and initiate new investments on beef farms. From this point of view, the paper intends to identify new development opportunities for the sector on the long term, both for relaunching domestic production and consumption increase and for creating export availabilities. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10419/205080 Title: Agrarian Economy and Rural Development - Realities and Perspectives for Romania. 9th Edition of the International Symposium, November 2018, Bucharest Editors: The Research Institute for Agricultural Economy and Rural Development (ICEADR) 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10419/205105 Title: The influence of meteorological factors on the production of maize crop in the South-Muntenia region Authors: Bădan, Daniela Nicoleta Abstract: The impacts of climate change on the area's agricultural potential and their economic and social effects on sustainable development in the environment are a topical and future issue. The paper aims at assessing the potential areas in the South-Muntenia Region, identifying, quantifying and qualitatively analyzing climatic parameters such as precipitation, maximum and minimum air and humidity temperatures, measured during the period 2013-2017 for maize crops for see their influence on productions and deliver optimal solutions. The statistical indicators that characterize the average crop production and the correlation coefficients between them and the main climatic parameters that influence the culture concerned will be calculated. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z
