Abstract

This work aims to present a study which consisted of researching, analyzing and interpreting statistical data, combined with theoretical aspects that allowed assessing the state of agricultural cooperatives existing in Romania and the economic and financial situation recorded in 2014. Thus, at the end of 2014 in Romania there were 690 agricultural cooperatives. Most of these are found in the South-Muntenia, respectively North-West, totalling 231 cooperatives. Also, 40% of all agricultural cooperatives are represented by the vegetal genre. In 2014 agricultural cooperatives in Romania totalled a turnover of 383 million lei, representing about 85 million euros, a significant sum indeed. The most significant income were achieved in South-Muntenia about 124 million lei (almost a third of the total income registered by the cooperatives), representing 28 million.
