Abstract

Sustainable development of agricultural space is a matter of national interest to ensure the stability of rural communities and food security of the population. Strategies developed for this purpose need financial support from the European funds and the national budget managed by The Agency for Payments and Intervention in Agriculture (APIA) and the Agency for Financing Rural Investments (AFIR). To exemplify, APIA contributes to the support of agriculture in Prahova County, where approximately 50% of the agricultural area of the county benefited from subsidies managed by APIA Regional Center worth 119,736,149 lei in 2017.
