Structural Changes in Romanian Farm Management and their Impact on Economic Performances

The main socio-economic tendencies of farm management in the Romanian agriculture in recent years reveal some important structural changes: acceleration of the transfer of land resource operation to younger managers; diminution of the consumption of labour force in the Romanian agriculture; increased productivity of labour involved in agricultural activities. The farming performance differs greatly between individual farms due to the complexity of Romanian farming system and farm structures. Generally speaking, the young farmers perform better than the older ones, and the farm economic performance, evaluated in terms of labour productivity and land resources, is greater as far as the farm managers’ agricultural training level increases.
