Abstract

The paper analyzes the evolution of main crops (wheat, rye, barley, oats, maize, potatoes and vegetables) from ”Hațeg Country”, Hunedoara County. Rhe researches carried out, by data taken from the field and by the ones existing at the Institute of Statistics, respectively the technical-operative reports on the situation of crops from DAJ Hunedoara and from the town halls of communes, disclose that in the studied period, 2010-2019, the main cereals cultivated are wheat and maize. The area cultivated with wheat varies from year to year, the environmental conditions in the area, mostly hill and mountain, being not favorable to wheat cultivation, therefore, the yields obtained are below the national average. The area cultivated with potatoes (traditional in this area) and vegetables, vary from one locality to another during the analyzed period, the total area cultivated at the level of “Hațeg Country” remaining approximately constant.
