Agricultural area cultivated with organic products almost tripled in the past decade, from about 65,000 hectares in 2006 to over 175,000 hectares in 2015. Romania is in 9th place in EU in terms of cultivated area of organic farmland according to the latest data published by Eurostat, the year 2015 relative to the agricultural area of Romania, which is about 13 million hectares, the area cultivated with organic products is insignificant, accounting for less than 1%. Organic products are still a niche segment due to higher price compared to that of conventional products.
This article proposes a regional analysis (on the 8 development regions of Romania) about the organic farming systems and the agriculture systems which are in the process of converting to organic agriculture.
