Abstract
Romania can play an important role on the European vegetable market in case it would be able to recover the productivity gaps in comparison with other European countries. The Romanian vegetable sector is characterized by increased fragmentation and high volatility both of production and prices. Sector productivity is still under volatility, while productivity gaps recovery, mainly in the primary production, represents an important objective. At the same time, globalization has an important impact on production and yield evolution if we take into consideration the technological progress and innovation in the vegetable chain. The paper makes an analysis of the productivity indicator at the level of the vegetable primary production in the period 2007-2013 and the findings allow to signal out an extremely important and positive phenomenon, namely the increase of areas under vegetables in greenhouses and plastic tunnels by 50%. Similar trends were noticed in production levels. Â
