The top 100 exporters on the Romanian market accounted for 52%of Romania's overall exports, i.e. 19 billion euros last year,according to data supplied to ZF by the Romanian Chamber ofCommerce and Industry.
The ranking is dominated by producers of auto parts and recyclablematerials, showing that Romania is only able to export raw materialas far as food is concerned, with no food producer in the top 100,but only grain traders. The only end products exported are Daciacars, Nokia phones, Arctic's Beko refrigerators, Ford cars. Apartfrom that, everybody manufactures car components where the rawmaterial is actually imported, furniture for Ikea, and clothing forBenetton. Ranking high are exporters of scrap metal, with companiessuch as Remat in Călăraşi being one of the big industrial plantswhich focused on exporting scrap metal.
Although exports were the leading sector of the economy in 2010,with their importance being underlined by all those who declare ona daily basis that Romania has come out of the crisis, two of theministries that should hold detailed statistics of all big Romanianexporters failed to supply such a ranking. ZF sent at the end oflast week requests for a list of the top 20 Romanian exporters tothe Ministry of Economy and to the Finance Ministry, but they werenot answered by edition close.
