THE NEED TO DEVELOP A WALNUT-BREAKING DEVICE FOR SMALL WALNUT FARMS

Daniela Drăghicescu, Oana Corina Ghergan, Iasmina Iosim

Abstract


In recent years, in Romania, but especially in the western part of the country, it has been found that long-term development in rural areas is absolutely necessary. The need for sustainable agriculture is also an important help from an economic point of view for the future. The Western area of Romania has a huge potential in the development of small farm businesses, in accessing European Funds, but also in attracting domestic and foreign investors. This potential also refers to the development of walnut crops, and, related to their processing, by creating new processing lines, modern equipment. The trend of the future shows an urgent need to replace physical work, with high-performance, automated machines and equipment. This need comes precisely because of the growing acute shortage of qualified staff. Data accessed through agricultural management systems can be processed to obtain customized solutions for small and medium farms.

Keywords
