A Government funded study, financed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), investment division of World Bank, shows that the Romanian authorities should invest massively in rural infrastructure, improve property registration, and promote agricultural cooperation to increase competitiveness in this area.
Coordinated by the Arthur D. Little advisory company, the study offers as examples countries with a profitable agriculture, such as Denmark, Spain or Chile. One of the principal weaknesses of Romania’s agricultural segment is low productivity, compared to other countries in the European Union, while opportunities include extended sunflower seed production.
