Short Analysis of Flowers and Ornamental Plants Market in Romania

摘要

The aim of the present research is to present the evolution of the flowers and ornamental plants market in Romania. The materials used are two studies realized by the Netherlands Ministry of Economy and Romanian Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The method applied consists in analysis of statistical data. The evolution of internal production and cultivated surfaces is presented in Table 1. Significant evolutions of open field surfaces and productions can be observed in 2007 and 2008, when the surfaces almost doubled and production increased in average 10 times. In greenhouses the surface also doubled in 2008, while the production increased 12.92 times. With respect to quantifying the worth of flowers and ornamental plants markets in Romania, it is difficult to estimate, due to missing or incomplete registration of market movements [1], encouraging tax evasion. However it is estimated that in 2006, 90% of cut flowers and 80% of pot flowers and ornamentals are imported [1], these values decreasing in the next two years [2]. The imports are made mainly from the Netherlands, Hungary and Italy [1].
