Having in view the self-sufficiency level in the year 2013, i.e. 92% in beef and 94% in milk, which reveals a chronic deficit in meeting the consumption needs for these products, the purpose of the paper is to identify some new opportunities to revigorate the meat and milk production with the support provided to the cattle sector through the NRDP 2014-2020 measures. Among the three pillars of food security (accessibility, availability, quality and safety), the paper investigates the availability of beef and cow milk, in the light of the representative factor – production volatility. The conclusions reveal a different volatility of beef production (27.38) versus cow milk (12.93); by species, the highest variation coefficient for the production of live weight meat, in the period 2005-2014, is found in the case of beef (27.38), followed by poultry meat (9.70), pork (6.19) and mutton and goat meat (4.25).
