In ten years' time, Romania will have fewer farmers, but they will be more competitive, having become partners in organisations that will handle the collection and sale of products, and who will also be involved in other activities, although this means many of them will commute into nearby cities, according to European Commissioner for Agriculture, Dacian Ciolos. Whereas foreign investors will only buy plots located next to each other in a few areas of Romania, the real problems of the sector will have to be solved by Romanian farmers. "There is room for foreign investors, as well, but they cannot solve the problems of the agriculture, they have the ability to come up with mechanisms to preserve existing agriculture types and to put them into practice," Ciolos says.
