Acting Agriculture Minister Adrian Oros has announced on Wednesday that this year, in which work is carried out on the 2021-2027 National Strategic Plan (PNS), the current, "not so positive trend for the Romanian agriculture" will be changed, in the conditions in which we export subsidies and import processed products, and the trade balance deficit with agro-food products is close to one billion euro.
He mentioned that ever since November 2019, when he took over the Ministry's leadership, he started the drafting of the PNS and the debates with the associative environment, a SWOT analysis being already conducted which identified the priority objectives to be included in the 2021-2027 PNS. Oros added that this PNS draft will be forwarded to the EC services, and, by the end of February, the contract for the consulting services with the World Bank will also be signed, in view of substantiating the interventions for Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 of the Common Agricultural Policy.
