Over 600,000 farmers in subsistence agriculture own around 50 pct of the agricultural area of the country, but achieve 10-15 pct of the agricultural production, said, on Tuesday, the chair of the Committee for Agriculture of the Chamber of Deputies, Adrian Chesnoiu.
According to him, over 600,000 farmers in subsistence agriculture achieve 10-15 pct of agricultural production.
"Then, we have a category of medium-sized farmers where we can talk about farms between 10 and 100-150 hectares of land, which are slightly more equipped, who derive incomes exclusively from agriculture. On the performance area, we are talking about approximately 4,000 farmers owning 30 pct of the agricultural area of Romania, but who generate 70 pct of the cereal productions recorded in Romania and they cannot do this but by intelligence and performance," Adrian Chesnoiu also said.
