Specific agricultural production showed very different dynamics, both sector (plant and animal) and the regional profile, depending on the diversity of agro-climatic suitability, and the utilization of production factors. The structure of cultivated areas is a technical indicator of the major influences on economic performance and reflect the share that each culture deals with arable land. It does not take random values, but must be directed strictly according to the demand for food products shown on the agricultural products market. Lowland area of Timis county is occupied by the Western Plain. This is the second largest pool of grain production after the Romanian Plain and the Lower Danube. The structure of grain growing areas have 70-75% share, well above normal values. Typically grain must not exceed the maximum weight of two thirds of the arable land. Among cereal grains, namely wheat, barley, barley, rye and oats together have 40-50% share. Local climatic conditions offer many possibilities for agricultural development. Natural landscape is favorable most types of specific crops and continental temperate zone as a consequence of the West region has extensive agricultural land, Arad and Timis counties topping, in this respect among the first in the country. Cereals is one of the oldest and most important agricultural activity in Arad and Timis counties, which have the largest areas of arable. Romanian agricultural production in general, including the west of the country, turned to grain production, not to put too much problem recovery products. Farmer has no means of production, so that technological support has been achieved and is still performed in the services system. In 2008, global agricultural production calculated in current prices was 2,415,821 thousand. Of that total global production plant is 1,708,457 thousand, which meant 70, 7% of total world production was 674 351 Animal thousand, respectively 27, 9%, and the difference, ie 1.4% is represented by various services of the agriculture holdings. Structure of gross agricultural production in an agrarian economy healthy, normally should take the following value: 48-55% global production plant, animal production 45-52% overall, Romania is still far from these value. We could say that we have developed an agricultural production sector in the Western states of Europe, where animal production will exceed the overall 50% share of total gross agricultural production structure.

Although organic farming is still an industry shortage, its importance in the agricultural sector has grown into a large number of countries with different development levels. In some developed countries, organic agriculture is an important segment of the agro-food (such as 10% in Austria and 7.8% in Switzerland), and in many other countries organic agriculture is growing more than 20% annually (the example in the USA, France, Japan, Singapore). A number of developing countries within small markets organic products (Egypt) and others have begun to explore the export opportunities offered by organic agriculture (eg exports of Mexican coffee and cotton in Uganda). In villages, where peasants from their land when they know the country, agriculture is still poorly integrated market economy. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), the country's agricultural area is 14.7 million hectares, representing 61.7% of Romania. Each incumbent Romanian 0.42 hectares of arable land, which is almost double the European average. Therefore, Romania is among countries with high agricultural potential. However in many regions, however, people cultivate land just to have something put on the table. In recent years, people have been talking about organic farming, a new trend in plant cultivation and animal husbandry. Organic farming does not make good home with the conventional, but differs fundamentally from the latter. The role of agriculture practiced in organic food production is clean, suitable for human metabolism and in full accord with nature. Many people complain that tomatoes and apples they buy from the market no longer have the taste of old and sometimes does not taste at all. Organic farming comes practically to solve this problem: to give the world food with authentic taste and quality. Pesticides are totally banned and genetically modified organisms are boycotted from the start. Bio-organic agriculture does not exclude, but requires the use of advanced equipment and technology, modern. To obtain bio-organic agricultural products, equipment and technologies must be more sophisticated, more developed and more adapted to the requirements of environmental protection and that of obtaining healthy products. A bio-organic farm will have a better chance to become sustainable if it will become multifunctional. In addition work will be to develop production and the processing and marketing is not. But equally important is it to develop and agro-tourism, so as to obtain additional income. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

On Romania's territory we meet great a variety of cultural-historical values (folk art, ethnography, folklore, traditions, historical sites), a precious natural landscape, harmoniously combined with a rich landscape, all constituting in a valuable tourism potential and with certain special values for Romanian rural tourism. Currently, the Romanian rural tourism has a large development, this potential being in close connection with other forms of tourism: tourism circuit, spa tourism, religious tourism, hunting tourism, rest tourism and tourism of the weekend. Being known the fact that, currently, the decline of domestic tourist traffic is primarily due to the large share that population with low incomes holds and therefore unavailable for practicing a tourism activity, the policy of tourism development at the national level should focus on the development of some forms of tourism that address particularly to this category of population - rural tourism and agrotourism. This form of tourism, presents an important social dimension, both through practicing some lower prices and by its specificity, being a form of tourism of family, tourism for youth, tourism of leisure. Arieseni mountainous area is characterized through a rich natural and cultural heritage. Both traditional cultural values (folk art, folklore, ethnography, traditions) but also the nature of the area indicates a large possibility of capitalization of tourist potential through rural tourism, currently being already standing out a growing demand for this form of tourism, coming booth from the country and from abroad.

Rural tourism and agrotourism are presented as a complex economic activities that highlights, through own mechanism, natural values, cultural and spiritual needs of the rural area. Currently tourism demand becomes increasingly obvious for rest and recreation in the rural area, enjoying the beauties of nature, in clean and quiet environment. In order to meet this trend, many tourism organizations, European and even national concern, increasingly, by the organization and institutionalization of tourism in rural areas. Maramures area is undoubtedly one of the most important agrotourist regions of the country, a true open-air ethnographic museum. Wealth preservation of cultural values and traditions do, that this wonderful area to be included on the UNESCO list of cultural values of humanity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
