The paper presents the main tendencies in the production and marketing of apples in Romania during 2012-2016. In order to carry out the present study, a number of indicators were analyzed: the number of apple trees from the national category and from the development regions of Romania; total apple production; average production per apple tree; average price for table apples; average annual apple consumption per capita; imports and exports of apples. Currently, Romania ranks second in terms of apple cultivated area and seventh in terms of apple production at EU level. The data used in the present paper was taken from the National Institute of Statistics and also from specialized international sites. The main tendencies in the production and marketing of apples were highlighted, especially from a quantitative point of view. In this regard, the changes that have occurred from one year to the next have been followed. Since there is a high potential for developing the apple production and marketing sector in Romania, a series of measures are required at both macroeconomic and microeconomic level.
