Abstract

Romanian agri-food exports to the EU have increased significantly after accession. The paper is presenting a study on the significant changes occurred in the competitiveness of the Romanian exports to the EU and to the main trade partners in the EU, using the CMS (Constant Market Share) method. The empirical results show that the increase in the Romanian agri-food exports to the EU may be attributed mostly to the competitiveness improvement (residual effect) and secondly to a better adaptation to the EU import markets (second order effect). The increase in the market size of the destination country (market size effect) is the least important factor, nevertheless positive for all studied countries and product groups.
