Abstract
The study examined the distribution and use of tractors and agricultural machinery in Romania between 2014 and 2024 at national, regional, and county levels. Its objective was to identify territorial disparities in technical endowment and assess mechanization in relation to agricultural economic performance. Using standardized statistical data from the National Institute of Statistics, indicators such as technical endowment, mechanization level, economic efficiency, and composite mechanization indices were calculated. Results showed strong contrasts between the well-equipped western regions and the less mechanized eastern and southern areas. Projections to 2035 highlight the role of investment in reducing regional gaps and supporting agricultural modernization and competitiveness.
