Abstract: Agriculture is one of the oldest occupations of the people and his continue improvement is one of the essential factors of generalized progress. Thus, it developed a range of specific branches of this field, where activate the highly specialized scientists (biologists, biochemists, biophysicists, geneticists, etc.) whose only concern is to improve productivity and methods for growing plants and animals, the use of existing resources. Romania has an agricultural area of 6,000 sqm/inhabitant, the highest in the European Union, followed by Spain with 5,000 sqm/inhabitant, France with 4,300 sqm/inhabitant and Poland with 4,000 sqm/inhabitant, but at the same time, has the most fragmented land in Europe, given that 53% of arable land is worked on farms of less than ten hectares. In addition to this major problem, there are many others that will be caught on across studies and in this context it seeks investment opportunity in Romanian agriculture, on the two main branches - crop and livestock. Based on the assumption that one of the two main branches of agriculture is more profitable, purpose of research is to identify it. To achieve the research objectives, the study proposed to analyze a series of specific indicators of performance, calculated based on data reported at national level toward National Institute of Statistics.
