Abstract: This paper aims to examine the influence of farm size on performance in the agricultural sector in order to reduce competitiveness gaps compared to other EU countries. Although it has a high agricultural potential, the average production from Romania are much lower than those obtained in the European Union. One of the key reasons for this is the average size of farms, Romania owns the largest number of farms in the European Union and an average size of about 4 times lower than the EU average.
