Abstract

The paper presents the result of a project by which the establishment of a market information system for the agricultural markets in Romania was envisaged. On the web site www.preturiagronet. ro in the created database, the prices of the main crop and animal products are displayed on the basis of certain inputting mechanisms discussed and agreed with the five partners (associations and professional organizations in the field) involved in project development. The paper presents the infrastructure used for the program design and the partial results concerning the inputting for agricultural prices in the created database.
