Abstract

The paper presents the evolution of the Romanian soybean market in the period 2015–2019, in regional profile, in terms of the effects produced by the coupled support to this crop on areas, productions, yields, average purchase prices and trade. After Romania’s accession to the European Union, the cultivation of genetically modified soybeans was banned, which led to significant decreases in cultivated areas. As a result of CAP implementation, the soybean crop benefitted from more support forms (direct payment schemes, national transitory aids and state aids for diesel oil utilised in agriculture) and the domestic soybean production increased, yet this increase was relatively low compared to imports. To boost domestic soybean production, starting with the year 2015, Romania has introduced the coupled support for this crop. For the analysed period, the results show significant increases, both of cultivated areas with soybeans (by 98% in the year 2019 compared to 2014) and of harvested productions (by 105% in the year 2019 compared to 2014), as well as of soybean exports. Nevertheless, the soybean trade balance has continued to remain mainly negative.
