Abstract
The potato culture has a pronounced elasticity, being practiced on numerous meridians and parallels of the globe, the product supplied representing a basic food in the human diet. The potato is also distinguished by its multiple possibilities of use (animal feed, industrial raw material, technological aspects, etc.) and by its high productive potential. Romania is a significant producer of potatoes in the European Union, but we suffer in terms of performances recorded on the productive unit.At national level, the potato price was 1.16 lei/kg for early, semi-early and summer potato, respectively 1.14 lei/kg for autumn potato. Differences are observed between development regions, with limits of 0.88 and 1.71 lei/kg for early production (Bucharest-Ilfov and West regions, respectively) and 0.80 and 1.67 lei/kg for autumn potatoes (Bucharest-Ilfov and South-West Oltenia regions). We can say that at regional level, prices are correlated to some extent, by their productive potential, as well as by the respective mode of intensity of supply and demand.
