ANALYSIS OF EFFICIENCY INDICATORS OF FLAX FOR OIL CULTURES

Abstract

The origin of area of the flax for oil is considered to be the center and west of Asia, from where it spread to the west and north. At present, about 50% of the area cultivated with oil flakes is in Asia (India being the largest cultivator, followed by China), about 25% of the cultivated area is in North America (Canada). Europe grows flax  for oil in UK, France, Russian Federation, Belarus and Ukraine (which are seriously investing in the production of linseed  for oil, which they export to Europe). The causes that hinder the expansion of culture in European countries are low production and inconsistency ,as well as strong competition from Canada's seed imports. The European Union is the largest consumer of seeds and flax for oil. In Romania, in recent years, the interest of farmers for this culture has diminished greatly due to the lack of demand for linseed oil on the Romanian market. In the paper we have conducted an economic efficiency study for this crop, for two years, a study conducted within a plant farm in Timis County.
