Romania: Exporter Guide

Romania and its 19.03 million consumers offer increasingly viable market opportunities for U.S. food and agricultural products. In 2021, Romania imported just over $12 billion worth of food and agricultural products (a 17 percent increase over 2020), of which around 1.5 percent, or $182 million, was sourced from the United States. During the first eight months of 2022, total Romanian food and agricultural imports increased by 14 percent compared to the same period in 2021. In the first eight months of 2022, U.S. direct imports increased by 17.9 percent, while indirect imports increased by 16 percent. U.S. products with strong market potential include fish and seafood, beef, tree nuts, groundnuts, wine, distilled spirits, dried fruit, and innovative food processing ingredients.
