Abstract: The paper makes an analysis of the profitability of agricultural holdings in Romania by main categories of holdings, based on data from the Farm Accountancy Data Network for the period 2018–2022. The main indicator that guided the analysis of farm profitability, by farm specialisation and size, was Gross Farm Income (per hectare or large livestock unit), the results showing that at farm level there is a balance of income between crop and animal farms, that there are more profitable specialisations, but also that in the case of several types of activity, small-sized holdings are in a precarious situation.
