Romania is fifth in EU by grapevine surface

Total surface reached 182,500 hectares in 2017

(ANSA) - BUCHAREST - Romania is fifth in the EU by the surface cultivated with grapevine, after Spain, France, Italy and Portugal, according to data of the Association of Wine Exporters and Producers (APEV). Moldova, Oltenia and Muntenia's hills host two thirds of total grapevine surface in Romania, which reached 182,500 hectares last year.

Local grapevines are going through a continuous process of restructuring and reconversion, backed by EU financing in the national support programme under the 2014-2020 budgetary allocation, said APEV officials. Romania receives EUR 47.5 mln annually from the EC in the programme.

According to Romania-Insider.com grapevine growers received EUR 14,000/ha non-reimbursable financing from the Commission during the previous budgetary period (2007-2013). (ANSA).
