Modifications in the geo-political context, climate changes and lately the consequences of COVID-19 pandemic impacted notably the economies of European countries in recent years. These combined factors resulted in significant changes in agrifood production and trade among EU Member States, as well as between EU and non-EU countries in the region. Successive EU enlargements, Russian trade bans, the enforcement of the DCFTA-s (Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreements) between the EU and Republic of Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia, the war in Ukraine had important effects on the trade flows. The present paper investigates these changes in the agri-food products exchanges in terms of value, volume, structure and geographical directions of the trade flows. The available data by groups of products in Eurostat, Faostat and UN Comtrade databases are used, and the analysis aims to identify changes in the product groups competitiveness based on trade balances surpluses or deficits by country, while taking into account the evolution of the global markets.
