Abstract: The aim of the paper is to provide an image of the dynamics of the cereal market, at regional level, in the Black Sea Region. The analysis focuses on Romania, as a member state of the European Union (EU) and Ukraine, as a member of the EU Eastern Partnership. Cereal markets in Romania and Ukraine have faced stiff competition from other Black Sea or EU countries. These are solid arguments for comparatively studying market developments in both countries and their characteristics. The research results show the size of the grain markets in both countries, represented by production size, areas and trade. The analysis identifies the factors that have influenced these developments over time. The elimination of those with a negative effect will attenuate production fluctuation and the pressure of competition on the international market. Farm consolidation and capitalizing on this sector with national or EU programmes are examples of solutions that we can offer.
