Romania offers ideal conditions for organic farming

With an agricultural area of about 15 million hectares, Romania can be after Poland the second largest producer of agricultural products in Central-Eastern Europe. In the 19th Century Romania was once the breadbasket of Europe. Only 60 percent of total agricultural land in Romania is currently being used. The grassland acreage- important for livestock production – amounts 4.8 million hectares. On the remaining areas cereals, mainly maize and wheat, are largely cultivated.

Enormous potential for investors:

     Cheap land prices.

     Affordable real estate price.
     High proportion of fallow land.
     Low wages.
     As EU member Romania benefits from free trade in the Union.
     Increasing subsidies for agriculture.

Reasons for beef production in Romania:

    Continental climate with sufficient rainfall.
    Enormous land resources with fertile soils.
    Total area of pastures: 4.8 million hectares.
    Cheap land and property prices.
    Know-how of the rural population in the animal husbandry.


For example,these arguments have led Karpaten Meat, to invest in agriculture in Romania. The existing resources allow both the production of organic beef and organic agriculture.
