FRUIT SECTOR – SELF-SUFFICIENCY OR DEFICIT?

Abstract

The Common Agricultural Policy mainly targets reaching the equilibrium between the consumers’ and producers’ interests. The first and most important Common Agricultural Policy objective is represented by ensuring food security for the population. The paper attempts to identify the modality in which the domestic supply can ensure the population’s access to a balanced diet, based on valuable components, and one of the important factors in reaching this objective is ensuring self-sufficiency. Fruit production increase at the level of soil natural potential should be correlated with the absorption potential of domestic market in the first place.
