Abstract: This article describes how organic farming is a dynamic sector in Romania, which has showed an upward trend in recent years. Although the Romanian market of organic food is still far from the developed markets, an increasing trend in the demand for organic products has appeared among consumers. This pattern can be explained, on the one hand, by increasing the Romanian consumers' access to information and on the other hand, by the increasing living standard. Accordingly, this evolution has required adjustments to the offer. In this regard, there is an increase in the number of operators in the organic farming system. Development opportunities remain very high if we consider the potential of the bio-agricultural area of Romania and annual rhythm of the number of certifications of organic operators in developed EU countries. In this context, we can state that organic farming plays an important role, contributing significantly to sustainable development.
