From 1948 until 1989, Romania had a Soviet-style command economy in which
nearly all agricultural and industrial enterprises were state controlled. During
those years, it built an economy based largely on heavy industry. Romania
remains one of the poorer European countries. Agriculture employs about one
third of the labor force but accounts for only 10% of the gross domestic product
(GDP). The chief crops are wheat, corn, barley, sugar beets, sunflower seeds,
potatoes, and grapes. Sheep and poultry are raised. About 25% of the country is
forested, and large quantities of timber are cut, especially in
Transylvania.
Industry contributes about a third of the country's GDP and accounts for one
third of the labor force. Auto assembly, mining and metallurgy, timber, food
processing, and petroleum refining are important industrys; major manufactures
include textiles, footwear, light machinery, construction materials, and
chemicals. The country's main industrial centers are
Arad, Bucharest,
Braşov,
Hunedoara,
Iaşi,
Oradea,
Reşiţa, and
Timişoara.
Brăila,
Galaţi, and
Giurgiu are the main Danubian ports;
Constanţa is the chief Black Sea
port. Galaţi and Constanţa are resort cities in Romania's
growing tourism industry.
Textiles and clothing, metals, machinery and equipment, chemicals, and
agricultural products are exported. Romania has an inadequate supply of mineral
resources and must import raw materials and fuels, although historically it has
been an important oil-producing center. The chief trading partners are Italy,
Germany, France, and Turkey.
