Abstract:
Throughout this paper, the theoretical concepts from the above areas were combined
with the analysis and interpretation of statistical data from the same areas of interest, resulting
in a detailed analysis of how the agricultural labour force influences the yields of the five most
important crops in the Romanian agricultural sector, namely, wheat, maize, sunflower, rapeseed
and soybean. The analysis was carried out within the eight NUTS-listed development regions. A
bibliometric analysis of the importance of the academic environment for agricultural labour force
research was previously carried out using VOSviewer software. The content of this document aims
to determine the impact that the agricultural labour force has on the productivity of the five main
crops cultivated in Romania over large areas during the period 2015–2019, where, although the
population employed in agriculture has decreased, the yields of these crops have increased due to the
technological development process started in agriculture. As of 2019, only 9% of the total Romanian
population is represented by the population employed in agriculture and 39.41% and 61.37% of the
total area of the country are represented by arable/agricultural area, respectively.
