Abstract: The aim of the paper is to emphasize the influence of the agrarian laws on the modern Romanian agriculture. The incomplete character of the enacted rural legislation not only that made impossible the structural reformation of this essential economic sector, but also contributed in a great measure to the perpetuation of the "land issue" and to the malfunctioning of the agrarian Romanian holdings. The juridical provisions and the concrete appliance of the agrarian laws maintained the major gaps existent between the different categories of agricultural exploitations, generating the ultra-parceling of the land and the limited seize of the great portion of the peasant farms. That fact generated negative effects both in the agricultural sector, and in the general economic evolution, in a period of transition from modern to capitalist relations. In this respect, the paper intend to establish a causality relation between the inequitable distribution of land and the Romanian agricultural underdevelopment.
