Abstract: In Romania's agriculture, wheat occupies an important place both in terms of cultivated area and production. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the evolution of the wheat sector at national level in the period 2013-2017. In order to accomplish this study, a series of indicators reflecting the current situation in this species were analyzed: total area cultivated on macroregions and development regions, total production, average production per hectare, average purchase price on the domestic market, value of import and export and the trade balance. From the data analysis it can be appreciated that the area cultivated with wheat at the national level is relatively constant, with small variations recorded at macroregions level. Regarding the total production, it had an upward trend over the whole period, from 7,296,373 t in 2013 to 10,034,955 t in 2017, the second and third macroregions having the biggest shares. Regarding the trade balance, it registered surplus over the whole interval but with a downward trend, the average of the period recorded values of 781,504.4 thousand euros.
