In this paper, it was analysed the sugar market in the context of the liberalization of the European market, taking into account both the situation at national and at European level. Also, there were analysed the evolution of the areas under sugar beet and sugar cane, sugar production, prices and sugar consumption. It was also demonstrated the economic theory affirming that: by reducing the price level of a particular food, the quantity bought is higher than consumed, thus resulting in the stocks. Studying the evolution of all elements of the sugar market, there were identified the main effects of the quotas elimination on this market. The conlusion was that the liberalization of the sugar market and the abolition of quotas in fall 2017 will lead to the increase of sugar beet and sugar production, to a decline of sugar price and to higher stocks of sugar as consumption is not expected to raise.

The results of this study undoubtedly demonstrate that the plant Penisetum purpureum is a plant with great energy potential, and can become a great solution to be used as a source of biomass to produce biogas and therefore for the production of energy electric as an alternative energy source. In this experiment, we have comparatively studied three mixtures of substrate of animal origin (sardinia) and substrate of vegetal origin (Penisetum purpureum), with the purpose of determining the variables corresponding to different proportions in the mixtures taking as parameter the C / N ratio. ; and its incidence in the control and reduction of hydrogen sulfide in the biodigester. Laboratory analyzes were carried out for fresh weight, dry weight, volatile mass and biogas production, methane production and also at the level of a biogas production plant the volume of hydrogen sulfide was analyzed according to the different mixtures proposed. The main objective of this work was to compare the total production of biogas and methane versus the increase in the production of hydrogen sulfide and the control and reduction of this through the use of the species Penisetum purpureum as a contribution of carbon within the C / N ratio.

The paper aimed to analyze the elasticity of apple price in close relationship to apple output in Romania based on the empirical data provided by the National Institute of Statistics for the period 2007-2015. Apple price increased by 19.7 % from Lei 2,230 per ton in 2007 to Lei 2,670 per ton in 2016, while apple production declined by 1.8 % from 475.4 thousand tons in 2007 to 467.3 thousand tons in 2016. The elasticity was determine in two variants:(V1) the year 2007 being term of reference, and V2, all the years were considered term of reference one by one. The coefficients of elasticity showed that apple production has a deep impact of apple price. In case of V1, in six years ( 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015), the apple price was very elastic, while in two years ( 2009 and 2011), it was relatively elastic in relation to the change in apple production. In case of V2, in three years ( 2008, 2011 and 2014), the apple price was very elastic, in other three years ( 2010, 2013 and 2015), it was relatively elastic, in one year ( 2009), it looked to be unitary and in one year( 2012), it looked to move to perfect inelastic. All these results, confirmed the H0 hypothesis that the variation of apple production leads to apple price volatility. As a consequence, apple tree growers must create associations which are the only chance to reduce the expenses for farm inputs, to increase apple production and quality, to keep under control production cost, to store the production for a longer period of time to protect it against hail and degradation, to preserve it in the best conditions and to deliver it in the market at a higher price in the periods when the offer will be lower. In this way, they apple production will have a better impact on price and farmers could get a higher profit.

The article is dedicated to the introduction of mapping methodology of the use of agricultural lands based on GIS and Earth remote sensing from space. In the article, the theoretical and methodical positions and features of complex agricultural mapping are formulated, the method of geo-information mapping of agricultural land holdings and land uses with the use of data of Earth remote sensing from space is developed. It is proved that the technological scheme of creation of electronic agricultural maps represents a complete cycle of creating maps and includes the following stages: the preparatory stage, the stage of fieldwork, the stage of map creation. Particular attention is paid to the stage of map formation, in which the content and database of created maps are developed. It is established that work on map layout may be performed after the steps of forming layers, processing of map symbols libraries, development, and filling of databases, and also the formation of layers of thematic elements. The content of agricultural maps is a collection of agricultural complexes, objects associated with them for agricultural development of the territory of the agricultural business, and thematic elements, used to create a complex agricultural map. An approximate content of thematic elements of the agricultural complex map, consisting of agricultural complexes and agricultural infrastructure is defined on the basis of the development of theoretical foundations. A complete list of the semantics of layers of a complex agricultural map is presented.
