This paper examines the evolution of the production and marketing sector of sugar beet in Romania, since 2007 until now. The main indicators analyzed are: the area cultivated with sugar beet; sugar beet production; average production per hectare of sugar beet; the average acquisition price for sugar beet and sugar beet imports. The statistics which were the basis of the survey were taken from the National Institute of Statistics and FAOSTAT. This study highlights especially the quantitative changes recorded in the production and marketing of sugar beet. This sector has a particular importance, as it provides the raw material for sugar production for human consumption. Romania has favorable conditions for sugar beet production and is foreseen an increase in acreage starting with 2017, when the quota will be removed and the sugar market will be liberalized.
