In milk production, as in any economic activity, in order to obtain favourable economic results, it is necessary to allocate a certain level of resources, of different types. The present research is based on 157 case studies carried out on ruminant farms of various species, as follows: 54 on dairy farms, 47 on sheep farms, 33 on goat farms and 23 on buffalo farms, and aim at the comparative analysis of the economic results, in relation to the allocations of resources, in the direction of milk production. For this, a series of indicators are analysed such as average milk production, different categories of expenses, unit cost, profit/loss, taxable income rate, etc., highlighting the minimum, maximum and average levels of indicators calculated by species. The results of the analysis indicate, among others, that species such as goats and buffaloes, whose notoriety on the market is below that of cow's or sheep's milk, can obtain superior economic results compared to them.

The growing demand for rapeseed oil has led to an increase in cultivated areas and the improvement of rapeseed cultivation techniques. The article analyzed the main technical indicators related to area, total production and average production of rapeseed. A comparative analysis was also carried out for the mentioned indicators, in two distinct periods, delimiting the period before accession and after accession to the European Union. The averages of the two periods were compared, using the Student Test method, and the SPEC Forecast function estimated the area, production and average rapeseed production by 2030. The aim was to identify from a statistical point of view if the averages of the two periods are dependent, as well as to predict the evolution of the main technical indicators.

The concept of sustainable development appeared in the attempt to reconcile agri-food production with measures to conserve non-renewable resources, but also the attempt to protect the environment, and in this process the farmer has an important role given the effects that specific activities have so much on the environment. Because of this, more and more actors involved in this process, from farmers to consumers, but also politicians have begun to pay more attention to organic farming, as an advantageous means of reconciliation between man and nature. In this paper we aim to analyze the production costs recorded in six crops, both in the case of applying the conventional production system and in the case of applying the ecological system in Romania, in order to determine the profitability of those crops. The research methodology involved the use of existing data in domestic and international databases, but also data collected through the project ADER 23.1.1. Technical and economic substantiation of the production costs and estimates regarding the capitalization prices of the main vegetal and animal products, obtained in conventional system and in ecological agriculture, data that were processed, analyzed and which formed the basis for formulating conclusions. The conclusion was that sugar beet and sunflower are profitable crops both in the conventional and organic system, while rape, soybean, rice and hemp registered losses which have to be covered by subsidies. Income depends on production performance and selling price, in the both systems, and case of organic products is inversely proportional.

Honey consumption has started to increase in recent years in Romania, according to statistics. In this context, the main objective of the paper was to study consumer behaviour and sensory perception of honey by Romanian young segment. The research was based on blind sensory testing of two honey samples (one commercial sample with country of origin indicated as “Blend of EU and non-EU honeys” and one from a local Romanian beekeeper). The sensory analysis was complemented with a questionnaire survey. In total, 100 university students from Cluj region participated. The results showed that the majority of participants consume honey only occasionally and their annual consumption is lower than 1 kg. Honey is mostly used as sweetener in beverages (tea, lemonades). The most preferred type of honey is acacia, followed by linden honey. Sensory testing showed that young people perceived the quality of honey and their preference by using mostly the taste. In addition, interesting results were acquired by respondents which decision was based also on aroma. Almost 83% of them indicated preference for honey from Romanian beekeeper.

Packaging plays an essential role in ensuring that goods are delivered safely and in good condition to the final consumer within supply chains. Packaging also has many potentials to help with the long-term development of food products. This review paper investigates consumer perceptions and understanding of design food packaging and how design packaging can help the environmental pillar of sustainable development. A literature analysis was conducted using the search strategy in Web of Science as well as other suitable international databases based on their global accessibility and researchers' library access. The result indicates that, from the consumer's standpoint, the essential aspect of sustainable packaging is represented by packing materials, and the packaging design must contain information about recycling actions. Considering the current issues, such as plastic waste and plastic packaging, the consumers believe that sustainable packaging is not as available on the food market as expected.

The rural area is of particular importance from a socio-economic point of view, whose economic activities are closely linked to the specific nature of the area. Rural localities are at different stages of development, depending on their specific characteristics. The aim of this paper is to identify the demographic effects of the poor economic development of rural localities, with particular emphasis on those in the South-Muntenia development region, which is known for its predominantly agricultural economic activities. In order to carry out the work, the main demographic indicators were qualitatively and quantitatively analysed and the main location and dispersion indicators were determined. The social outlook is not at all positive, both at national level and especially in rural areas. The population tends to decrease, influenced by the existing lifestyle, to which various factors contribute, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, but also the military conflicts in the area, which generate concerns.

This study examined the change in the dry onion market in the world and Turkey. The study used data from FAO and TURKSTAT institutions from 1980-to 2021. Considering the developments in the production and foreign trade of dry onions in the world and Turkey, the world production of dry onions, which was 21.71 million tons compared to the average of 1980 at the beginning of the period, increased by 382% rose to 104.55 million tons in 2020. India occupies the first place in the world production of dry onions 8% of the onions produced in the world are exported. During the studied period, the amount of world dry onion exports increased by six times, and its value increased by 12.8 times. The Netherlands has the highest share of dry onion export values (22.10%). According to the period of 1980, the production of dry onions in Turkey has increased by 2.5 times. Compared to 1980, the production area increased by 3%. Therefore, productivity improvements have a primary impact on production growth.

Fish farming is the fastest growing sector in fish production, so it is seen as a major source of fish production in large quantities. Therefore, Iraq has moved towards developing fish farming, as it has a major role in investment expansion and a pillar of economic development. Environmental diversity has led to the availability of the vast water bodies in Iraq, which allow the breeding of different types of fish, lead to the success of fish farming projects in Iraq. The results of the research showed that the cost of fingerlings, pesticides and rented labor is the highest, as it constitutes 20% of the total variable costs, followed by the cost of fodder, then the costs of medicines, and finally the costs of transportation. As for the total fixed costs, the cost of renting land constitutes the highest percentage, followed by the construction of ponds and family work. The results of the research also showed that there is a big difference between the area and the optimum size of fish production, which is equal to 74 dunums of area and 693 tons of production with the actual level of area and production, which equals 46 dunams of area and 166 tons of production. So farmers must be helped to increase production that achieves economic efficiency by increasing areas through participation and union between farmers.

The research is devoted to a comprehensive approach to the study of soybean productivity depending on the different tillage technologies and plants' spraying of salicylic acid of climate change in Southen Ukraine. The proposed measures will save water resources up to 30% through the use of portable moisture meters to control soil moisture and the no-till technology; increase the soybean yield by up to 14% by spraying plants of salicylic acid. It was determined that the density of soybean plants during the growing season decreased on variants with traditional technologies in comparison with no-till the deviation makes almost 6%. The soybean water consumption coefficient in the experiment varied significantly in the range from 1,710 to 2,330 m3/t. Soybean plants used water reserves most rationally in variants where traditional technologies were used. The average increase in yield according to the experiment under traditional technologies was 5.4%, with no-till was 20.3%. In terms of economic and bioenergy efficiency, no-till does not have significant advantages over traditional technologies. Reduction of costs in the introduction of no-till for energy consumption of machinery, fuel, electricity is fully offset by the growth of indirect energy costs, in particular, the cost of herbicides, due to high weed infestation of uncultivated crops.

The quality of rootstocks is very important for the long term production results of apple trees. It depends on many factors, such as good air and water regime of the soil, good supply of nutrients etc. Different methods of enriching the soil are practiced in order to produce high quality planting material. Bearing in mind the concepts of sustainable agriculture and bioeconomy’s principles of production, the authors of this paper, also scientists at the Agricultural University – Plovdiv, Bulgaria undertook a 3 year experimental project aiming to discover efficient ways for improving quantity and quality of apple rootstocks per unit area, while using cheap soil additives or even organic wastes in an environmentally friendly manner. To what extent the use of natural humates and pyrolysis residue from biogas production can change soil conditions and improve quality of apple rootstocks; have positive environmental impact; reduce production cost and guarantee higher economic results was the unifying idea of the project. This article’s main objective is to evaluate the impact of the use of natural humates and pyrolysis residue on apple rootstock’s production efficiency from technical and economic perspectives. Natural humates contain a certain amount of moisture-absorbing crystals and pressed organic substances, the use of which drastically reduces the use of water and fertilizers in the production system. These have positive economic as well as environmental impact. Pyrolysis residues are obtained as a result of using biogenic fuels for heating greenhouses. They are waste, but can be used as a valuable resource for soil improvement.
