Abstract
On agro-food products’ market of the European Market a saturation of products has
been reached, attaining the stage of limitation, by means of certain policies and specific
levers, of the expansion of this market. Romania faced the situation of member state of
EU, when, after year 2006, it entered a harsh competition, in which the predominant
word is saturation. This is the reason for which the post-accession studies in agriculture
must aim both at valorizing the natural potential of not-exploited or less exploited
resources of Romania, and at finding out solutions to increase competitiveness of the
field, in which Romania feels threatened, aiming first of all at the markets of traditional
products. Competitiveness is based on criteria of economic efficiency, according to
which an important place takes the rational and efficient exploitation of the natural
resources, especially in agriculture.
In order to point out the significance of MAP cultures, we will make a comparison of
some indicators of efficience of the wheat, corn, colza cultures and several medicinal
plants which were cultivated and studied. The comparison will be made taking into
consideration both the data of average efficiency in case of MAP (using classical
technologies, without applying the knowledge discovered by the researches of the
field), and the maximal ones on the crops and MAP cultures (by application of
knowledge resulted from agronomic research specific for the improvement of the
technology of each species of MAP).
This field MAP is so much the more important for Romania as this country owns
elements of environment favourable for a potential exploitation of the medical
aromatic plants, without affecting the traditional cultures in the agricultural areas.
