Developments in the Romanian organic sector
Foreign demand remains the main driver for organic production in Romania, though 2015 production was down. Domestic consumption is on an upward trend. Highly-processed products are mostly imported, while raw materials such as oilseeds, grains, protein products, and forest fruits are exported. The organic consumer market was estimated in 2016 at U.S. $45 million, an increase of more than 30 percent compared to two years ago. Retail stores contributed to this expansion, as they have dedicated shelves to organic products, making these products more visible and attractive to consumers.
