Abstract: This paper presents the evolution of agricultural sector in Romania for the period 2008-2020 based on statistical data provided by INSSE. In the analysis we used indicators to reflect the structure and the dynamics for the number of companies in agriculture sector, the number of companies in agriculture depending on the number of employees, the agricultural personnel according to professional status, labor productivity in agriculture, the importance of agriculture in regional GDP, the population employed in agriculture and population employed in agriculture by region. The total number of companies activating in agriculture had an increasing evolution during 2008-2018 representing a 55,37% increase. In Romania there are regions more developed regarding the agriculture and there are regions where the development is lower The productivity of labor in agriculture is lower than the productivity of the activities of the national economy and registered the maximum value of 15.3 lei per hour in 2019. In the West region, the highest increase in labor productivity took place from 21,84 lei per hour in 2009 to 118,9 lei per hour. We could notice that in the regions where the productivity is higher the proportion of population employed in agriculture is lower and where the proportion of population employed in agriculture is higher, the productivity is smaller.
