Romanian retail sector and local supply chains

Retailers in Romania are emphasizing their socio-economic contributions and the integration of local food supply chains.

Lidl România reported a total socio-economic impact of 19.2 billion euros over its 15 years of operation from 2011 to 2025. An analysis by KPMG indicated the retailer contributed 3.9 billion euros to the state budget and provided 16.4 billion euros to Romanian suppliers, working with more than 3,300 local entities and supporting approximately 679,000 full-time equivalent jobs annually.
