THE EVOLUTION OF THE DYNAMICS OF THE FRUIT SECTOR IN ROMANIA, IN THE PERIOD 2013-2022

The study focuses on analyzing and presenting the evolution of the pomological sector in Romania, both at the national and regional levels, between 2013 and 2022. The data used for this study were collected from various sources, including national statistics, publications, and specialized literature, and were subjected to qualitative research methods for analysis and interpretation. Relevant indicators for the agricultural sector, such as the number of cultivated trees, fruit production, and yield, were included in the study, and their minimum, maximum, and average values for the reference period were calculated and analyzed. Additionally, these indicators were studied at the level of the most important fruit species: apples, pears, plums, cherries, and sour cherries. The analysis of statistical data highlights significant variations in terms of the number of fruit trees and their productions in various development regions of Romania, thus providing insight into the evolution of the sector and guiding potential policies in the field.
