Romania is one of the European countries with the most favorable soil and climate conditions in order to obtain quality agricultural productions and in significant quantities, which can cover an important segment of the domestic demand for agri-food products. Despite the considerable potential, the profitability in Romanian agriculture is still modest, indicating a use of production factors below the level of optimal values. Based on these considerations and predicting that in 2021, the population need for agri-food products consumption will increase, as a result of the repatriation of approximately two million Romanian citizens, who worked in the European Union countries due to the crisis generated by Covid-19, we initiated the present study on the agricultural production evolution in Călărași county, in comparison to South Muntenia Region, of which it is part and with the production at national level. For the data processing and interpretation, the method of statistical indicators was used, respectively, the comparative analysis of the researched phenomena. The comparison method was used in the analysis of the data series that covered time periods between 2000 and 2007 and 2008 and 2018, depending on the available data. For each period, the indicators were calculated: average, standard deviation, coefficient of variation and annual growth rate. It results clearly that for the next period it is important to intensify some measures to provide subsidies, to use on large scale the need for irrigation, fertilization and other activities that will give perspective to evolution in this area and lead to the agrio-food security and independence of Romania.

The current study highlights the main forms of ownership of agrotourism pensions, a classification of agrotourism pensions in the Apuseni Mountains area, a presentation of agrotourism pensions according to the period of business development in this field of activity, as well as a grouping of agrotourism pensions by funding sources. The Apuseni Mountains areahas been and is a special attraction for both Romanian and foreign tourists, due to the traditional tourist attractions in this region. Following the increase in the flow of tourists, we are witnessing a diversification of the forms of accommodation and catering. Currently, tourism entrepreneurs orient themselves towards the establishment of agrotourism pensions because they have found that tourists are increasingly attracted to the practice of tourism as close to nature as possible. In order to achieve the objectives proposed from the beginning, it was necessary to carry out a quantitative study based on questioning. It was applied to a number of 110 managers from agrotourism pensions in the Apuseni Mountains area. On the one hand, statistical data taken from the Ministry of Tourism were used in the paper, and on the other hand, the information obtained from the application of the questionnaire was used.

The paper aims to draw attention to the need, importance and efficiency of obtaining high quality fruits both in terms of taste and food, by cultivating them in the classic system in households and agritouristic farms. It was also considered very important to promote this traditional way of producing fruit, applying environmentally friendly natural and built cultivation technology, as the effects of climate change are increasingly felt, even if some important states of the world no longer recognize this. We support this mode of cultivation even if it is known that the productions obtained in intensive and super-intensive cultivation system are much higher, but from the research carried out in over 25 years of activity in the field of agrotourism we found that the production obtained in agrotourism capitalized on a higher price, by selling "directly from the farm" as organic products or by serving tourists as fresh fruit or as culinary preparations in a local cuisine specific to the area, households or agritouristic farms. Fruits obtained in this type of crop are generally much tastier and must not contain any chemical residues, as the amount of inputs such as pesticides, insecticides and herbicides applied to crops is much lower or even absent, pensioners must to be very responsible, as they have the obligation to ensure the health and food safety of the guests who visit the tourist reception structure.

In a globalized economy in which more and more companies are operating, expanding their activity in different fields and by setting up different groups of companies, covering different markets, the issue of transfer pricing is not only important, but also necessary in considering the implications that they have not only on the profitability of the companies, but also on the budgets of the states of which they are part. In this paper we aimed to analyze the not easy issue of transfer prices, exemplifying through case studies, the choice and use of various valuation methods that aim to strengthen the tax base and determine the taxable profit within the group of companies in a way that is as correct as possible and that does not have fiscal consequences on them. The methods used were: the price comparison method, the plus cost method, the resale price method and the profit sharing method. The study highlighted that the application of the methods is based on the characteristics of the entities, the characteristics of the transactions subject to analysis and the comparability of the data. But regardless of the applied method, the preparation of the transfer pricing file is useful both for the fiscal authorities and for the entities, considering the fact that they can contribute to the increase of the company's profitability and to the assurance of competitive advantages.

To be able to do that, we checked the number of tourist arrivals by years and months, in each part of the Romanian Carpathians, we analysed the dynamic of the tourists number between 2014-2019 and we checked the seasonality index, to see what season they love the most. All these research were done with the help of the reports from National Institute of Statistics (NIS). We discovered that one of the main reasons that helps people on to decide about the destination is the climate and the activities that they can perform. In addition, the fact the infrastructure is in a continuing development, and that the investments in tourism are constantly growing, and also that we have lots and many Museums, castles, monasteries, memorial houses, landscapes, hiking, waterfalls and cages make our mountains attractive for our tourists. They can recharge themselves after a hard time, after a crowded city life, in an unbelievable place: Carpathians.

The present study highlights aspects related to the production and marketing of strawberries in Romania, in the period 2014-2019. Specific indicators were presented and analyzed in the paper, such as: areas cultivated with strawberries; strawberry production; the price for strawberries; quantitative imports and exports; value imports and exports, for the category "Strawberries". Romania imports annually the equivalent of 40% of the strawberry production made domestically, which highlights the fact that there are a number of opportunities for local farmers who want to start businesses in this sector of activity. The strawberry crop is suitable in most regions of Romania and can have a yield of over 20 tons of fruit per hectare. The aspects regarding the production and commercialization of strawberries in Romania were captured especially, from a quantitative point of view.
