Analysis of community implications on agriculture in the North-east region

Abstract

The aim of the research was the diagnostic analysis of the results obtained by agricultural farms and the impact of European funds in the context of integration into the European Union. It is found that, after Romania's accession to the European Union, the possibilities for the development of agricultural farms have increased, as a result of their advantage of accessing European funds, with a fairly large share of their non-reimbursement. In this context, the research started from the economic-financial analysis of the situation of agriculture in the North-East Development Region, according to which to proceed to adopt measures that will lead, first of all, to the increase of agricultural production and, in secondly, to make it more efficient by attracting European funds. This paper aims to provide viable tools for assessing the implications of Community support mechanisms at regional and farm level by delimiting the set of indicators needed and the methods needed to quantify this influence. The results obtained will be the basis for understanding how the Community financial support influences the development of agricultural holdings and will allow the identification of how the support needs to be oriented so as to lead to the long-term development of Romanian agriculture. In order to meet the purpose mentioned in this paper, we aimed to: evaluate the evolution of agriculture and community allocations in the macro and micro economic context; evaluation of income sources for estimating the influence of subsidy through Pillar I; evaluation at the level of case studies of the activity of agricultural holdings that have accessed funds through Pillar II by highlighting the evolution of their activity and evaluation of the technical and scale efficiency of agricultural holdings taken as a case study in the context of accessed funds.
