Abstract: The performance of the cattle farming sector in Romania is seriously affected by the low average yields of milk and beef and by the scattered supply, due to the excessive fragmentation of farms. From the analysis of the effects of financial allocation from national and European funds on the cattle farming sector for the period 2007–2018, it results that although the sector has received financial support to increase its competitiveness, there are still significant productivity gaps between Romania and the developed countries of the EU–28. Thus, in the investigated period, we could notice a diminution in the total number of cattle and female breeding herds and a significant increase of milk and dairy imports; in terms of average milk yields, Romania ranks last in the EU–28.
