This paper analyses the evolution of the agricultural sector in Romania at the level of NUTS 2 Regions (Development Regions) in the period 2010-2020. The study of the farms' number evolution, the agricultural area used and the simple and derived indicators of agricultural performance are basic elements in characterizing this area of interest, identifying the most appropriate sectoral strategies and formulating the directions of action both by the agricultural policymakers and the farmers. The data required for the calculations were subtracted from the Eurostat platform and processed using graphical and tabular elements. The results identified the importance of the agricultural sector in Romania for the regions analyzed in relation to the European Union average, highlighting the dynamics of the number of farms, agricultural land use, labour productivity, economic size and production value. The analysis focuses on the regional level but makes connections and comparisons with the national and EU levels, the conclusions indicating the differences and explaining the trends.
