Abstract: This paper presents a regional analysis of the Romanian agricultural sector for the period 2008–2024 based on statistical data published by the National Institute of Statistics. To this end, we analyzed five indicators: the number of active enterprises, the employed civilian population, gross value added, gross value added per employed person, and the average monthly net wage. To identify regional disparities, we calculated variability indicators. The data and calculations revealed regional disparities: small throughout the entire period for the number of enterprises; large throughout the entire analyzed period for the employed population; large for most of the analyzed time period in terms of gross value added; small and large in certain years regarding gross value added per employed person; very small and small regarding the average monthly net wage. Compared to the first year of the analyzed period, regional disparities: increased for the employed population and for gross value added per employed person; decreased for gross value added and for the average monthly net wage; remained relatively constant for the number of active enterprises.
