Agriculture is an important sector in Romania's economy. Crop production brings the highest contribution to agricultural production value, being followed by animal production. Cereal cropping is very important in Romania, while wheat, corn and maize are among the top cereal crops. Also, sunflower seeds production is very good positioning Romania at
the top in the EU. Vegetables and mainly fruit sectors registered an important decrease in production. Milk production declined due to the reduction of cattle livestock and the small
yield/cow. In order to balance demand/offer ration, in the domestic market there many products coming from import, which deeply affect Romanian producers. The financial support offered by the EU for the Horizon 2014-2020 must be used in order to increase agricultural production. Farmers to join their capital and develop their
business in associative forms which could help them to obtain farm inputs at cheaper costs, lower production costs, and to sell better their products in the market.

The challenge
Romanian farmers need to browse websites that show grains prices to get to understand their culture trends. The problem is that many websites show the price in EUR currency and most websites require a monthly subscription to access grains price evolution.
The idea

They believe that Romanian farmers need to connect to current and accurate global news, be notified of important price changes, or be alerted if an event has a major impact on their production. When you are timely informed, you maximize your chances to make the best decision.

Users can even buy a PRO subscription in order to be able to hide mobile advertising and get to save their favorite grains and get alerts when favorite grain's price changes.
