ROMANIAN VEGETABLE VOLATILITY AND COMPARISONS WITH OTHER EU COUNTRIES

Cornelia Alboiu

Abstract


 Studying the vegetable production and price volatility is an important objective having in view the importance of securing a stable vegetable supply and stable prices implicitly. The paper presents the volatility coefficients of the production, yields and prices of vegetables by main vegetable species covering the period 2005-2014. A few comparisons are also made with other European countries as regards the production volume and some aspects are revealed regarding the volatility of food and agriculture production at the level of several European Union member states. The results reveal a high degree of volatility of production and yields per hectare for the main vegetables produced in Romania, leading to a high price volatility including the volatility of vegetable producers' incomes.
