Abstract
The paper presents the competitiveness of the agri-food products in Balkan region by the analysis of the trade flows. We focus on the Romanian trade with agri-food products and the commercial relations with different countries from Balkan area. We compare the evolution of the Romanian agri-food products trade with similar products from Balkan countries, in the last two decades. For this analysis we use data provided by the National Institute of Statistics (INS), EUROSTAT, internet databases and articles periodically published by the institutions specialized in economic analysis, as well as other specialty works, studies and working papers done by different researchers across Europe. Last but not least, we use the partial results from the FP7 Project COMPETE (International comparisons of product supply chains in the agro-food sectors: determinants of their competitiveness and performance on EU and international markets). By present paper we would like to show the effects of EU enlargement and globalization on regional trade, influences on agri-food products’ competitiveness, with special attention on the Romanian agri-food trade. We would like to find the Romanian agri-food products which lost the markets and those products which have had a positive evolution in the past. In the same time, we intend to identify the competitive agri-food products from Romania, with influence on regional market
