Horticulture represents a crucial sector of Romanian agriculture, contributing to both rural and national economic development. This study analyzes the variations in the cultivated areas of major horticultural crops in Buzau County during the period 2019–2023, based on data provided by the National Institute of Statistics (INS). The results highlight differences and disparities in the evolution of cultivated areas,
reflecting changes in the structure of horticultural crops and their adaptation to climatic and economic conditions. These shifts suggest a reconfiguration of agricultural priorities, influenced by factors such as crop resilience to climate change and market demands. The study underscores the impact of climatic, economic, and infrastructural factors on the dynamics of the horticultural sector and emphasizes the need for investments in agricultural infrastructure and advanced technologies to strengthen and diversify horticultural production in Buzau County.
