Resumen
Descripción
The research aims at evaluating the accession impacts on Romania’s agriculture by
analysing the comparative advantages in trade relations with EU. The method used
the calculation of the trade specialization degree index constructed from the original
Lafay index and adapted on the agricultural sector. While providing a rank of products
by their level of specialization on the international market, the research results
indicate a decrease of the specialization level and a loss in the trade diversification
of the Romanian products. The assessments reveal that certain products previously
expressing an export potential, have suffered in the post-accession period an important
decline in their commercial specialization: such is the case of live animals and animal
products, which, although still have positive trade balance, the net export amounts
registered significant declines. The results identified similar loss for oilseeds, milk and
dairy products.
