Abstract
After the First World War, Romania became the largest country in southwest Europe, experiencing an unprecedented economic development.
Knowledge in the field of horticulture has been continually expanded, driven by the development of activities in agricultural education and research institutions.
The period from 1918 to 1930 was characterized by the unification of the central administration and the implementation of the Great Agrarian Reform of 1921. In the decade that followed (1930-1940), the Ministry of Agriculture and Domains undertook measures to organize the horticultural heritage, including financing the establishment of vineyards and orchards accessible to small producers.
As a result, the production of vegetables, fruits, and grapes experienced a significant rise.
The increasing production of vegetables, fruits, and grapes has raised the issue of their proper capitalization, stimulating specific activities related to the quality maintenance of fresh horticultural products, as well as their processing and industrialization.
