Development of agricultural land markets in Romania

Pamfil, Virgil

The land itself is Romania's most valuable natural resource. Out of Romaniaas total area of 23.8 millions of hectares more than 60% is used for agriculture. The forests cover 28%. Of the agricultural area one third is permanent pasture and some 64% is arable. The national territory is almost equally split between plains, hills and mountains. Soil conditions are favourable for agriculture in most of the Romanian territory and agriculture is the dominant form of land use.
