ASSESSMENTS OF FARM CAPITALIZATION WITH PRODUCTION MEANS – FIELD SURVEY ANALYSIS

Capitalization is a determinant of farm economic viability, with sustainable contribution to increasing the competitiveness of the agricultural sector. A computation and analysis model has been built for evaluating the endowment of Romanian agricultural holdings with production means, estimating the total net investment value by types of agricultural machinery and farm equipment. The clustering method was applied on appropriate statistical indicators of the sample farms according to the considered selection criteria, providing the basis for analysis. The article presents the results provided by farm sample analysis, showing regional profile assessments obtained at farm level and by legal status of holdings.
