This paper proposes a detailed analysis of the performance of the Romanian vegetable agricultural sector, compared to the EU average, for the period 2018-2022. The aim of the paper is to highlight the relative position of Romania within the vegetable agricultural sector, by assessing some indicators that reflect the economic performance and competitive capacity of the sector. The research method was based on the analysis of certain technical-economic indicators such as: average farm size, agricultural area in relation to population, average production per hectare, income from the agricultural sector and productivity. The analysis was based on official statistical data provided by national and European reference institutions such as Eurostat, the National Statistical Institute and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The results obtained show that Romania consistently ranks among the top six EU Member States in terms of crop production. From the point of view of economic performance, the values recorded by the Romanian agricultural crop sector are comparable with the EU average.
