Abstract: Globalization and the high level of digitalization draw important trade routes in most regions of the planet, thus ensuring the delivery of raw materials, components of any kind or finished products to consumers in the global market. Agriculture is a strategic area that will guarantee food security. Romania plays a very important role in European agriculture, having a dynamic market. In 2023, out of the total cultivated area in the country of 8,211.2 (thousand ha), with 5,168.5 (thousand ha) cultivated with cereals for grains, corn had a share of 26.74% and 42.48%, the area reaching 2,195.3 (thousand ha). In 2018, when the highest total production of corn grains was recorded for the period under analysis, total production increased almost 5 times compared to the reference year 2007, reaching 18,663.9 (thousand tons). Although we have large areas cultivated with corn, average yields (kg/ha) remain low. The highest Balassa Index value of 18.19 was recorded in 2021.
