| Abstract |
Economic theory and international practice confirm the role of clusters as catalysts for competitiveness based on innovation and internationalization. European countries are facing the challenge of becoming prosperous societies based on modern, competitive and efficient economies in terms of use and are continuously developing agricultural resources. Mobilizing agro-food actors towards a clean and circular economy, through in-depth cooperation along trade channels such as the use of new technologies, implementation of sustainable solutions plus innovation, are critical for achieving the goal of increasing productivity and responding to the globally growing demand for agro-food products. At regional level, clusters play an important role in making smart specialized operational strategies, facilitating SMEs' access to global markets. This paper aims to identify Romanian agro-food clusters and their competitiveness on the international markets and to answer to the following question: How many agro-food clusters are established in Romania and in which regions of the country? Is cluster formation an engine for the development of the Romanian agro-food sector? Are local clusters internationally competitive? |
