Abstract:

RIV model is not a copy or an adaptation of another economic model. It uses a sphere and it is based on the idea that a lot of influences have different economic effects on agriculture development. The agriculture development is analysed as a sum of a boundless number of sphere sectors. We must realise a translation from a bi- into a three-dimensional space. Any influence will have a sphere sector, like the pattern one. We used this model to realise a comparative analyse between E U and three important agricultural suppliers: Romania, Poland and France. Each of them represents a distinct step of the EU enlargement.We started from an interesting dynamic model - RIV and followed more specific steps. The basic idea was that, as a result of the obsolete and relative efficiency decrease in agriculture, the correct management becomes essential to a modern agriculture. This management has to be supported by adequate models. This was why we used the surface per holding, the share in employed civilian working population, the output of the agricultural industry, the gross value-added and the share of household consumption expenditures devoted to agriculture output as proportion of total consumer expenditures as pertinent indicators of the analysis. In order to achieve better conclusions, we used official statistic database during 2009-2010, which allows us to observe the effect of the present global crisis on EU agriculture. The RIV model presents pertinent diagrams for the agriculture development in France, Poland and Romania. We consider that our approach allows regional and national authorities to implement the best measures in order to obtain a modern agriculture in the next years.
