Sorghum is the fifth most cultivated cereal in the whole world, after wheat, rice, corn and barley. It is a cereal with a chemical composition, similar to cereals grown in our country, especially corn. This crop must be reconsidered, as a cereal with great potential, to be used for human consumption, not only for animal feed. The sorghum crop is a crop that does not require large production costs, compared to other cereals grown in our country, especially in the context of climate change, in recent times. This research work aimed to present the biological and agricultural potential of Sorghum crop based on statistical data provide online by FAOSTAT, European Union Sorghum Area, Sorghum-id.com și The ARVALIS Technical Institute, France. The analyzed data refer to the period 2010-2022, so to a period of 12 years. The methods used to set up this study have been the comparison and index methods. The main results obtained based on this analysis reflect that, in Romania, where water availability may become a challenge in the future, sorghum can be a valuable crop option. Sorghum is a versatile crop that can adapt to a wide range of soil and climatic conditions. In conclusion, information about the sorghum crop is important for farmers to make the right decisions, because the sorghum crop has a high yield, which could be used in crop rotations or as a complementary crop for maize, being a crop of the future.

The global wine industry is facing numerous challenges, such as declining consumption, consumer preferences (especially among younger people) for other types of beverages, the shrinking or disappearance of certain markets, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which have impacted purchasing and consumption behaviour and caused significant disruptions in supply chains. To promote overall economic growth and wine exports in particular, more and more wine-producing countries are choosing to build and promote a sectoral brand for their wine industry. The Romanian wine industry should also align with this global trend. The aim of this paper, which is based on applied qualitative research, is to present the perception of Romanian wine exporters regarding how Romania is viewed as a wine-producing country in foreign markets, what the export objectives are for the next five years, and which are the most important target export markets. Additionally, the paper seeks to evaluate the main critical success factors for entering international markets, the key elements of a brand strategy and brand architecture for the wine industry, and who should manage the project of building and promoting such a brand, as well as how it should be managed.

This paper analyses the evolution of the agricultural sector in Romania at the level of NUTS 2 Regions (Development Regions) in the period 2010-2020. The study of the farms' number evolution, the agricultural area used and the simple and derived indicators of agricultural performance are basic elements in characterizing this area of interest, identifying the most appropriate sectoral strategies and formulating the directions of action both by the agricultural policymakers and the farmers. The data required for the calculations were subtracted from the Eurostat platform and processed using graphical and tabular elements. The results identified the importance of the agricultural sector in Romania for the regions analyzed in relation to the European Union average, highlighting the dynamics of the number of farms, agricultural land use, labour productivity, economic size and production value. The analysis focuses on the regional level but makes connections and comparisons with the national and EU levels, the conclusions indicating the differences and explaining the trends.

The objective of this research is to investigate how transformational leadership influences the shifts in attitudes and motivation of agricultural extension officers (AEOs) regarding the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in agricultural extension. A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2022 to February 2023 in North Maluku, Indonesia, involving 252 government AEOs as the sample. Data were collected through a survey using a questionnaire that measured transformational leadership, attitudes, and motivation towards ICTs. Linear regression analysis was employed to test the research hypotheses. The results revealed that transformational leadership positively and significantly influenced AEOs’ attitudes (β = 0.309; p < 0.05) and motivation (β = 0.416; p < 0.05) towards ICT utilization. However, transformational leadership alone explained a limited portion of the variance in attitudes (14.4%) and motivation (17.6%), suggesting the influence of other factors. These findings highlight the importance of transformational leadership in fostering ICT adoption among AEOs. However, to maximize the potential of ICT in agricultural extension, a multi-faceted approach is necessary, encompassing not only leadership development but also the provision of adequate resources, infrastructure, training, and supportive institutional norms that encourage ICT utilization.

Tourism holds significant importance due to its multifaceted nature, encompassing economic, social, cultural, educational, and political dimensions. It plays a vital role in supporting and boosting a country's economy, motivating those who have been traveling for a long time and are doing it more frequently. Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic's quick and widespread spread has had a big impact, particularly on the travel and tourist industry. People’s ability to travel plays a crucial role in the growth of this industry, which is why the strict measures implemented by authorities to curb the virus greatly hindered tourism’s progress. This article aimed to explore the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the tourism industry, highlighting the importance and sensitivity of crisis situations in this sector. The research methodology involved analyzing internal and international databases, calculating, analyzing, and interpreting statistical indicators regarding tourism flow. The findings of this study indicate that, by 2023, tourism demand had reached nearly 96% of the levels observed in 2021-2022. This demonstrates a remarkable recovery for the EU overall, with certain countries, such as Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, and Ireland, even surpassing their pre-pandemic levels.

The experiment in this article is an approximate replica of the experiment in the article "The Growth And Development Of The Potato According To Their Variety In The Central Area Of Romania" published in the "Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Agriculture", but in a different location in central Romania and with a slight resizing of the experimental plots. This research exposes the adaptability to water and nutrient stress conditions of three potato varieties ('Alouette', 'Salad Blue', and 'Paradiso') compared to the control variety, 'Productiv', which is a native variety maintained in conservation by research stations. The three potato varieties ('Alouette', 'Salad Blue', and 'Paradiso') were cultivated under the same conditions as the control. The experimental field was established in central Romania, in Brașov County, Mandra village. During the vegetation period, the following criteria were monitored: height of the main stem, number of main stems, number of leaves on the main stem, length of the median leaf on the main stem, and chlorophyll content of the leaves. Precipitation and daily temperatures were also recorded during the vegetation period. After data centralization and statistical analysis, it was concluded that the variety 'Alouette' had the best development.
