 ROMANIAN PIGMEAT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF INTERNATIONAL FORECASTSIuliana Ionel ()
Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, 2018, vol. 15, issue 2, 209-218 Abstract: Pork is the most popular meat type in Romanians’ consumption, accounting for more than half of total meat consumption per capita. With the lifting of the export ban on Romanian pork on the EU market (2014), the experts expected that this would have a positive impact on exports. Despite this, the Russian embargo on the EU pork made Romania become, like other countries from Eastern Europe, an outlet of the big Western European pork producers. In these conditions, the forecasts of international experts tend to point to the continuation of the Romanian pork sector dependence on frozen and refrigerated pork imports. Productivity increase, based on price cuts and technological efficiency improvement, represents the main driver for increasing pork production in the developing countries. It is estimated that compared to the previous decade, pork consumption will increase more slowly, due to high production costs and slowdown in population growth. Keywords: pork; price; new technologies.
