"The agriculture sector's contribution to the state budget has decreased. Right now, Romanian agriculture consumes more than it produces. (...) Have you noticed that food products that get more expensive are Romanian?" said Minea at the Romania Retail Forum, organized by MEDIAFAX.

He accused the Ministry of Agriculture of lack of communication saying anyone would have spoken to farmers, processors and retailers and would then understand why they prefer to import products.

"Because there's nothing to buy in Romania," Minea said.
