The paper makes an inventory of the rural non-agricultural activities, which can be classified into two categories depending on the time allocated to the respective activities: independent ones, those that are practiced in exclusivity, using the entire working time, and the complementary ones, those that are carried out to complete the available working time, by those involved in agriculture. To increase the relevance of the analysis, the paper attempts to quantify the most important methods for increasing the rural business environment competitiveness on the basis of documentation, analysis and processing of statistical data.
