RECENT TRENDS IN THE ROMANIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN MILK AND DAIRY PRODUCTS

CAMELIA GAVRILESCU

Abstract


Romania gradually improved its achievements in the animal husbandry sector and increased yearly its milk and dairy products trade. The structure of exports changed after accession: the share of cheese on both intra and extra-EU markets diminished in favor of fluid milk and fermented dairy products. Milk imports increased as well, driven generally by the demand from major processors and retailers. Despite a constant increase in the domestic output of processed dairy products, imports continued to expand, resulting in a negative trade balance for almost all products. The present paper is analyzing the changes and trends in the volume, value and directions of the Romanian milk and dairy products trade flows, in the context of recent evolutions occurred in the international markets.
