The paper aimed to present the impact of religious traditions on consumers' behaviour and food products certification. The Orthodox religion is specific to Romania, but also in other countries from ten Eastern and Southern Europe. The POST (to refrain you from eating food and beverages containing animal protein and form sins) products can play an extremely important role on the market segment represented by the voluntary quality certifications in the traditional - religious system, which is due to the numerous Christian-Orthodox believers, who strictly respect the customs and traditions mentioned in the specific documents of the religion. The number of quality schemes differs from country to country, depending on the importance they attach to them and to the products marketed.

The paper aimed to estimate customer's satisfaction degree determined by the quality of the hotel services. In this purpose, a face to face survey based on questionnaires was run in September 2019 using a sample of 34 Romanian and foreign tourists who had one night accommodation, dinner and breakfast in Krystal Hotel, a three stars unit in Hunedoara County. The results of their answers were processed using a 5-level Likert Scale which was helpful to calculate the scores for every item taken into consideration for characterizing the service quality in this hotel. The partial scores for various quality aspects were very high and as a result the global score accounted for 4.98, that is almost 5, which is the maximum figure a hotel could get. This study showed that the hotel managers who pay attention to service quality could be successful in their business for a long run. Customer's satisfaction degree must be carefully studied and be consider a fundamental item in setting up the future development strategy. A high service quality well correlated with price will be a guarantee for a high degree of satisfaction among customers, and in its turn, a high degree of satisfaction of the customers will assure a high tourist inflow, a higher occupancy rate, income flow and profit in hotel industry

The aim of the article is to analyze optimization of cropping area of scientifically-based crop rotations in agriculture of Ukraine. Scientific solution of the set tasks required application of statistical data about cropping area in Ukraine, presentation of economic data of cultivated field crops in crop rotations. The authors of the article analyze long-continued research by the scientists of the Institute of Grain Crops of NAAS of Ukraine and suggest that yield capacity is much higher under scientifically-based crop rotations without application of fertilizers than under the variant of no crop rotation applied. The work studies optimization of the number of fields in a crop rotation. It is determined that efficiency of many-field crop rotation secures high level of agrarian production, and for enterprises with a small area of land use, it is the most reasonable to apply short crop rotation.

The theme of this paper is to obtain information on soil fertility characteristics of Chernozem soil to determine the general production capacity of the land for different crop plants. The present state of the complex system of soil properties, relief, climatic conditions, geomorphology, the types of agricultural farming practices and land use, are all contributing to loss of soil fertility with all its negative impacts on the environment. For this purpose, the calculation of Bonitation Note (NB) (soil quality index, bonitation score) is determined on the main agricultural crops according to the natural fertility capacity of the soil. The natural bonitation score is calculated based on the soil characteristics, which is assigned to the coefficients from 0 to 1, depending on the preference given by each characteristic. The studied Chernozem, located in the southeast of the Romanian Plain, more precisely in the Baragan Field, is directly investigated with the environmental factors, which together form homogeneous ecological territory units (UT), these UT having specific advantages at various agricultural uses, such as wheat, corn, sunflower, peas and soybean crops. Following a pedological study, Chernozem is in the second quality class, with 72 points, of the maximum of 100 points. Because this assessment of soil is changing under the influence of natural environmental factors and human intervention, the bonitation score must be permanently updated.

The paper analyzed the efficiency of the utilization of the agricultural land in the EU-28 and in each country based on a system of specific indicators, among which the most important ones have been the agricultural production and gross value added per ha of utilized agricultural land. The data provided by Eurostat were processed establishing the average level in the decade 2009-2018 both at the EU and every country level. The comparison among countries was based on the EU- mean resulting in this interval. The results proved that 71.46 % (128.55 Mil. ha) of the EU-28 agricultural land is used by France, Spain, United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Romania and Italy. About 77.58% of the EU agricultural output is produced by France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Poland and Romania. The highest agricultural output per ha of used area was achieved by Malta, Cyprus, Belgium, Italy, Denmark, Germany, Luxemburg, Slovenia, Austria and France. About 86.65 % (Euro Bil. 144.72) gross value added is produced in agriculture by Italy, France, Spain, Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Greece and Hungary. Only Italy, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Croatia, Romania and Malta exceeds 40.95 %, the EU-28 average share of gross value added in the value of agricultural output. The EU achieved Euro 671.1 per ha of utilized land and 15 member states are able to exceed it (Malta, Netherlands, Cyprus, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, Austria, Denmark, Slovenia, France, Luxemburg, Croatia and Portugal). As a conclusion, taking into account the two indicators: agricultural output and gross value added per ha of utilized area, the countries with the highest economic efficiency of land use are Malta, Cyprus, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Greece, Slovenia, Luxemburg, France, Spain, Netherlands, Portugal and Croatia. To make land use more efficient in agriculture, farmers have to optimize the combination of production factors in order to grow agricultural production and gross value added per ha.
