Increasing climate change as well as the evolution of agricultural prices have led to important changes in the structure of crops cultivated predominantly in Romanian farms. If in the past the Romanian agricultural producer does not have a great deal of openness to the new technologies, as well as to new crops like sorghum and rapeseed ten years ago, it is noticed that, with Romania joining the EU, 2007, things they changed. By increasingly contacting European farmers with a much better yield per hectare, but also opening up to new technologies and the attractive price of oil crops, Romanian farmers have begun to focus their attention on far more attractive crops than In terms of sales prices and the application of new technologies to help them achieve high output to cope with European competition. By interpreting the statistical data provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Eurostat, a comparative analysis of the import and export of sorghum and barley was carried out in the light of the pre-accession and post-accession EU production to observe whether these crops provide a high level of profitability and if it is justified to cultivate them on extended surfaces. Although there is still much to be done in this area, we see that investing in high performance technologies and equipment, in quality inputs and hybrids, is a way of generating production levels comparable to those recorded at European level.
