The Belgian farmers were also presented the quality and comparative advantages of Timis County, general data, the structure of the economy, the contribution made by this county and the Vest Region to Romania's economy, the turnover corresponding to various places, foreign investments, etc.

As for agriculture, the CCIAT representative gave statistical data referring to the farmlands in Timis County, the structure of the farmland ownership, the vegetal agricultural production in various crops, the livestock and the animal production obtained through turning it to good account, the situation of animal exports.
