Abstract

According to estimates made by representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Romania could reach exports of organic products of over 1.5 billion euros in the coming years, if this sector is supported by the authorities. As for the domestic consumption of organic products, this is estimated by the employers’ association at around 80 million euros, half of this value coming from Romanian products, namely honey, wine and bakery, and the other half from imports made especially by large retailers. Romania currently has only one percent of the total consumption of organic products, compared to 5-6%, the European average. In recent years, more and more people in Romania have chosen to eat organic foods. They know that these are good for their health while respecting the environment.
