In the following, using real statistic data I will present for modern Romania the structure of the arable and forest property, the evolution of the agricultural production, the results regarding agricultural crops and livestock husbandry. The legal status of property had a quantitative evolution combined with qualitative changes. Property distribution after the 1864 Agrarian Reform and the subsequent land reforms did not have a favorable evolution. Some of the reasons are the growing population, the expansion of the tenancy system (hindering productive investments and considerably worsening peasant’s status), the increase of land’s price, and the lack of a credit system that would address peasants’ needs.
