Crop diversification is frequently recommended as a method of risk reduction. According to Eurostat data, farms with a diversified structure show lower income volatility compared to monoculture operations.

From an economic perspective, diversification allows risk to be distributed across crops with different price and yield dynamics. However, this model involves greater operational complexity, additional logistics costs, and the need for rigorous technical planning.

In Romania, specialization in cereals remains dominant. This orientation maximizes mechanization efficiency but increases exposure to market shocks.

For 2026, the balance between specialization and diversification becomes a strategic decision. Financial stability is not the result of production volume alone, but of the structure of the agricultural portfolio and the capacity to adapt to the market.
