Due to its characteristics, Olt County has a high potential for agricultural activity. Starting from this, adding the regional framework of existence, the paper presents the rapeseed offer in the context in which this culture is currently an extension. Regarding the cultivated area, the following aspects were highlighted: at national level, the indicator variation of amplitude was 432,035 ha (4.10 times for the minimum level of indicator, 19.60% decrease when is compared to the maximum level for the indicator); there is a variation of amplitude at regional level of 48.306 ha, which was a increase of 3.20 times the minimum level (2013), and a decrease of 23.81% when we compare to the maximum level (2010), at the county level the variation amplitude of the surface area was 23,904 ha, which exceeded the minimum level of indicator (2012) by 3.56 times and was 21.92% lower than the maximum level (2010). Regarding total rapeseed production, there is a national variation amplitude of 1,135,268 t, which exceeded 7.21 times the minimum (2012) and was lower by 12.19% of the maximum term (2016); at regional level, the variation amplitude was 91,440 t, which exceeded 4.71 times the minimum term (2013) and was lower 17.33% with the maximum level (2016); at the county level: the recorded amplitude reached 41,675 t, which exceeded the 4.46 times the minimum term (2012) and was lower than the maximum term (2010) by 18.34%. If we refer to the average production yield per unit of production (kg / ha), the following conclusions can be drawn: at national level, the variation amplitude was 1,478 kg / ha, which exceeded 1.09 times the minimum (2009) was lower than the maximum term (2016) by 47.87%; at regional level the indicator has a variation amplitude of 1,415 kg / ha, which exceeded the minimum period (2013) of 1.11 times and was lower compared to the maximum period (2016) by 47.30%; at the county level, the amplitude of variation of the indicator was 1,255 kg / ha, which was lower than both the minimum (2013) and the maximum (2016) with 0.87 and 50.22%. Olt County represents a decisive producer of rapeseed for the Region South West Oltenia, by the weights held at the cultivated area level (47.63%) and the total production (46.44%). The decrease in the share for total production compared to the cultivated area at regional level, is explained by lower average yield per hectare for the county with 0.33% compared to the regional one.
