From the perspective of reaching food security, for Romania, beef meat (accounting for 10% in the total meat consumption structure, in the year 2015) is important both for dietary diversity and for the complex contribution to the valorization of the country’s agricultural resources, through the export of live animals inclusively. With a 45% decrease of live weight beef production, after the accession to the EU, with a poor quality of carcasses, as 77.9% of carcasses come from slaughtering adult cattle, out of which 49.5% cows, the beef sector in Romania is not currently in the situation to best use the opportunities provided by the European Single Market.
