## Company Profile DTS LOGISTIC SERVICES SRL is a Romania‑based freight forwarder focusing on sea and road freight (website: http://www.dts-logistic.ro). The lead contact (Dana Simion) is Sales & Business Development Manager (Sea & Road), indicating the company originates and manages export/import flows by truck and ocean (likely container and bulk/loose cargo linked to Constanța and EU corridors). Publicly available data on scale is limited; the firm appears to operate as a regional forwarder/NVOCC/3PL serving Romanian exporters (grain, industrial goods) and importers, with cross‑border trucking across EU lanes and port hinterland services to/from Constanța. ## Pain Points 1) Sudden, seasonal surges in grain export volumes (and Ukrainian transit cargo) are increasing short‑notice demand to move bulk grain to Constanța and load vessels. DTS needs scalable, trusted exporter/buyer origination and port‑chain coordination to capture these volumes without overcommitting truck/port capacity. 2) Structural driver shortages and cross‑border capacity constraints are keeping road rates volatile and making it hard to offer long‑term, price‑certain contracts to clients on RO–DE/IT/FR and Balkan lanes. DTS needs a delivery channel that brings pre‑qualified shippers who will accept contract terms and consolidated shipments to smooth utilization. 3) Upcoming regulatory cost pressure (maritime ETS already at 100% in 2026; ETS2 pushed to 2028) and other cost inputs (tolls, wages) mean clients want to lock reliable routes/rates now or find multimodal options; DTS must offer integrated, forward‑looking solutions to retain clients as margins tighten. ## Intel Summary === MULTI-DIMENSION RESEARCH === === 1. [MARKET EVENTS] Romania exports 2026 – grain, corn, wheat, timber, automotive parts, Black Sea corridor === **Macro export picture & structure (latest 2025–early‑2026 data)** - Romania’s goods exports reached about **EUR 96.6 bn in 2025**, up **4.2% y/y**, while imports rose 2.6% to ~EUR 129.3 bn; the trade deficit narrowed to **EUR 32.7 bn** (≈8.7% of GDP).([romaniajournal.ro](https://www.romaniajournal.ro/business/financial/romania-trade-deficit-falls-to-e32-7bn-in-2025/?utm_source=openai)) - Roughly **72% of exports go to the EU**; foreign‑controlled firms account for **~70% of goods exports**, underlining integration in EU value chains (especially auto/industrial).([oecd.org](https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/2026/03/oecd-economic-surveys-romania-2026_be38cf27/4844067e-en.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - Germany, Italy and France remain Romania’s top export partners.([de.tradingeconomics.com](https://de.tradingeconomics.com/romania/exports?utm_source=openai)) **Grain/corn/wheat exports & Black Sea corridor dynamics** - The Black Sea remains the core export route. Constanța is the **EU’s largest Black Sea port**, handling both Romanian crops and a large share of Ukrainian transit volumes.([worldwidetradex.com](https://www.worldwidetradex.com/insights/black-sea-grain-trade-2026?utm_source=openai)) - A March 2026 report notes Constanța has **1.5 million tonnes of grain storage** and “the fastest cereal handling terminal in the EU,” making it the primary alternative route for Ukrainian grain amid disruptions at Ukrainian ports.([van.nongnghiepmoitruong.vn](https://van.nongnghiepmoitruong.vn/romanian-port-becomes-key-transit-hub-for-ukrainian-grain-d325675.html?utm_source=openai)) - Regional context: Black Sea grain export capacity from Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria and Kazakhstan together supports a total regional grain production above **89 million tonnes**, with **zero‑duty export regimes** in place for key origins, intensifying competition.([cropgpt.ai](https://cropgpt.ai/ukraine-wheat-export-pacing-and-campaign-execution?utm_source=openai)) - Specific Romania signal: Ukraine‑based consultancy UkrAgroConsult reports (late April 2026) that Romania is **increasing wheat exports and strengthening its position in the Black Sea region**. - By late April 2026, Romanian wheat exports in the current campaign had already **exceeded the entire 2024/25 season total of 5.6 MMT**, implying **>5.6 MMT shipped in just part of 2025/26**.([ukragroconsult.com](https://ukragroconsult.com/en/news/romania-is-increasing-wheat-exports-and-strengthening-its-position-in-the-black-sea-region/?utm_source=openai)) - Romanian 12.5% protein wheat was recently offered at **USD 240/tonne FOB Constanța**, undercutting Ukrainian 11.5% wheat, which signals competitive pricing and likely continued strong export flows via Constanța in Q2 2026.([ukragroconsult.com](https://ukragroconsult.com/en/news/romania-is-increasing-wheat-exports-and-strengthening-its-position-in-the-black-sea-region/?utm_source=openai)) - Broader Black Sea pricing backdrop: early‑2026 Black Sea 12.5% protein milling wheat is trading around **USD 215–235/MT FOB**, setting a relatively low but stable floor for export margins. Romanian offers at USD 240/MT sit just above this range, reflecting protein premium and tight nearby demand.([worldwidetradex.com](https://www.worldwidetradex.com/insights/black-sea-grain-trade-2026?utm_source=openai)) **Role as corridor for Ukrainian grain (2026)** - Ukrainian grain exports in March 2026 totaled **3.434 MMT** (3.367 MMT in March 2025), with wheat at 9.941 MMT and corn at 14.134 MMT so far in the season. A substantial share is routed via Danube and Constanța rather than directly from Ukrainian deep‑sea ports, reinforcing Romania’s role as a **transit hub** as well as origin exporter.([cropgpt.ai](https://cropgpt.ai/ukraine-wheat-export-pacing-and-campaign-execution?utm_source=openai)) **Timber and wood products exports** - Timber/wood remains part of Romania’s export mix (wood, furniture, construction materials) but recent macro commentary focuses more on high‑value industrial and automotive exports. OECD’s 2026 survey still lists **timber and construction materials** among key industrial sectors, indicating ongoing export relevance, though without fresh 2026‑specific volume splits.([oecd.org](https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/2026/03/oecd-economic-surveys-romania-2026_be38cf27/4844067e-en.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - No major new regulatory shock on timber exports appears in Q1–Q2 2026 sources; the main trade narrative is dominated by grains and industrial goods rather than a structural shift in timber trade flows. **Automotive parts & industrial exports** - The automotive and machinery complex remains a cornerstone of exports; government and media data for 2025 highlight that **machinery and transport equipment** (including automotive parts/assemblies) are the largest export category, consistent with prior years.([romaniajournal.ro](https://www.romaniajournal.ro/business/financial/romania-trade-deficit-falls-to-e32-7bn-in-2025/?utm_source=openai)) - OECD 2026 notes Romania’s export structure is anchored in **electrical machinery, auto assembly and components**, and related industrial products integrated into EU supply chains (notably Germany and France).([oecd.org](https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/2026/03/oecd-economic-surveys-romania-2026_be38cf27/4844067e-en.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - No major plant closure/opening announcements in early 2026 significantly altering automotive parts flows were identified; signals point to **continuity with modest growth**, supported by EU demand recovery and ongoing near‑shoring of some component production into Eastern Europe. **Implications for 2026 trade flows** - For **grains (wheat/corn)**: - Strong export competitiveness (FOB levels, protein quality) plus the transit role for Ukraine imply **high utilization of Constanța and Danube corridors through at least mid‑2026**. - Competition from Russia and Ukraine at similar FOB levels caps upside on prices but supports volume growth.([worldwidetradex.com](https://www.worldwidetradex.com/insights/black-sea-grain-trade-2026?utm_source=openai)) - For **industrial/automotive parts**: - Given 4.2% export growth in 2025 and continued EU manufacturing recovery in early 2026, baseline is **low‑single‑digit export growth** into core EU markets, with any stronger upturn conditional on euro‑area demand and Chinese import patterns into the EU.([romaniajournal.ro](https://www.romaniajournal.ro/business/financial/romania-trade-deficit-falls-to-e32-7bn-in-2025/?utm_source=openai)) **Sources (Market Events)** ([romaniajournal.ro](https://www.romaniajournal.ro/business/financial/romania-trade-deficit-falls-to-e32-7bn-in-2025/?utm_source=openai)) === 2. [DEMAND SIGNALS] Road freight capacity, driver shortage, EU routes, freight rates, Balkan container volumes & Mediterranean ports (2026) === **Romania road freight growth & capacity context** - Colliers (Romania) notes that **road freight transport volumes grew 69% over the last 10 years** (to 2023), reaching nearly **29 billion tonne‑kilometres**, which is **three times the EU average growth rate**.([colliers.com](https://www.colliers.com/en-ro/news/romania-road-freight-transport?utm_source=openai)) - This rapid growth has outpaced infrastructure expansion; a “shortage of motorways and modern railways” continues to constrain efficient logistics and push more cargo onto roads. Colliers expects a **slower pace of motorway inaugurations in 2025–2026**, which implies capacity bottlenecks persist on key domestic and export corridors.([colliers.com](https://www.colliers.com/en-ro/news/romania-road-freight-transport?utm_source=openai)) **Driver shortage & labour market signals (EU level, relevant to Romania)** - The European road freight market outlook (Ti/Upply/IRU, Feb 2026) states that the industry faces a **shortfall of ~444,000 drivers** across Europe, with retirements exceeding new entrants.([ti-insight.com](https://ti-insight.com/briefs/european-road-freight-2026-outlook/?utm_source=openai)) - This chronic EU‑wide shortage affects Romanian hauliers operating international routes (Germany, Italy, France, Balkans), sustaining **upward pressure on driver wages and limiting effective capacity**, even when truck fleets grow. **Freight rates on EU routes (2026)** - The **European Road Freight Rate Benchmark (Upply/Ti/IRU, Q4 2025 – published Feb 2026)** shows: - Continued **divergence between contract and spot markets**: spot rates softened as demand cooled, while contract rates remained relatively sticky.([ti-insight.com](https://ti-insight.com/briefs/european-road-freight-2026-outlook/?utm_source=openai)) - The report highlights that **additional truck capacity entering the market in 2026 is likely to exert downward pressure on spot rates**, though cost pressures (wages, tolls, insurance) put a **floor under rate declines**.([ti-insight.com](https://ti-insight.com/briefs/european-road-freight-2026-outlook/?utm_source=openai)) - For Romania‑linked corridors specifically (e.g., RO–DE, RO–IT, RO–BG/GR/Western Balkans), no standalone index is published, but given Romania’s cost base and driver availability, hauliers often operate as **cost‑competitive capacity providers** into Western Europe. The combination of EU‑wide driver scarcity and strong Romanian road‑freight growth suggests: - **Capacity still tight on long‑haul Western EU routes**, supporting relatively firm contract rates. - **Some softening on intra‑Balkan and domestic lanes** where new trucks have entered the market and demand growth is slower (inferred from regional trends in Ti/Upply data).([ti-insight.com](https://ti-insight.com/briefs/european-road-freight-2026-outlook/?utm_source=openai)) **Cabotage & cross‑trade (qualitative signal)** - Recent pan‑EU analyses and IRU commentary (as reflected in Ti/Upply/IRU) underline that Central/Eastern European carriers (including Romanian firms) remain major providers of **international cross‑trade and cabotage capacity** within the single market, especially on North–South and East–West lanes. This keeps **Romanian trucks active beyond national borders**, tying their demand closely to broader EU industrial output and retail flows.([ti-insight.com](https://ti-insight.com/briefs/european-road-freight-2026-outlook/?utm_source=openai)) **Balkan container volumes & Mediterranean ports exposure (2025–2026)** - While hard statistics for 2026 Balkan container volumes are sparse, shipping market briefs and Freightos analyses give signals for Med‑bound flows: - Asia–Mediterranean spot container prices in November 2025 were around **USD 2,998/FEU**, after significant volatility during the Red Sea crisis, with the crisis in 2024 having pushed East‑West spot rates as high as **USD 8,000–10,000/FEU** and set an elevated floor of **USD 3,000–5,000/FEU** even in low‑season periods.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1p6jo8v/freightos_weekly_update_november_25_2025_excerpt/?utm_source=openai)) - By March 2026, Freightos data show **Asia–Mediterranean rates falling 2% week‑on‑week**, with overall East–Med routes still elevated but below 2024 peaks, amid reduced congestion compared to the early Red Sea diversion period.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1rktyct/freightos_weekly_update_march_4_2026_excerpts/?utm_source=openai)) - A late‑March 2026 Freightos update indicates Shanghai–Jebel Ali rates above **USD 7,000/FEU**, with knock‑on effects likely on East‑Med routings given use of alternative hubs and transshipment.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1s3joqa/freightos_weekly_update_march_25_2026_excerpts/?utm_source=openai)) - Implications for Balkan and Romanian **container‑related road demand**: - Elevated but moderating Med ocean rates plus occasional port congestion (Piraeus, Istanbul, Adriatic, East Med) create **volatile hinterland trucking demand** as shippers divert between ports and intermodal routings. - Romania’s position—with Constanța serving both as a **Black Sea container node and bulk grain hub**—means that road freight demand connecting to this port (to/from Bucharest, Transylvania, Western Balkans, Hungary) remains robust, especially for agricultural exports and imported consumer goods.([van.nongnghiepmoitruong.vn](https://van.nongnghiepmoitruong.vn/romanian-port-becomes-key-transit-hub-for-ukrainian-grain-d325675.html?utm_source=openai)) **Demand outlook for 2026** - Ti’s 2026 outlook suggests **European road freight volumes will grow modestly** after a weak 2024–H1 2025, helped by restocking and potential growth in Chinese exports to the EU due to trade diversion.([ti-insight.com](https://ti-insight.com/briefs/european-road-freight-2026-outlook/?utm_source=openai)) - For Romania, this translates into: - **Sustained demand on export‑oriented corridors** (grains via Constanța; automotive/industrial products toward Germany/Italy; consumer imports into Romania). - Ongoing **structural driver shortage** plus infrastructure bottlenecks, which prevent any large oversupply of capacity, even if macro demand is only moderate. **Sources (Demand Signals)** ([colliers.com](https://www.colliers.com/en-ro/news/romania-road-freight-transport?utm_source=openai)) === 3. [TIMING SIGNALS] EU ETS (transport), diesel price trends 2026, and logistics demand for Romania’s exporters/importers === **EU ETS / ETS2 timing for road transport** - The **new ETS2** (covering fuels used in **road transport and buildings**) is part of the EU’s Fit‑for‑55 package. - An EEA briefing (2026) notes that in **November 2025**, EU co‑legislators agreed to **delay ETS2 by one year**, so it will now **start in 2028 instead of 2027**.([eea.europa.eu](https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/publications/emissions-reduction-from-transport-in-europe-how-the-ets2-will-help-this-sector-meet-its-climate-targets?utm_source=openai)) - Key mechanics (from EP and EEA documents): - ETS2 will impose a carbon price on fuel suppliers for **diesel, gasoline and heating fuels** used in road transport and buildings.([eea.europa.eu](https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/publications/emissions-reduction-from-transport-in-europe-how-the-ets2-will-help-this-sector-meet-its-climate-targets?utm_source=openai)) - The system is expected to **affect up to ~40% of EU emissions** when fully phased in, with modelling suggesting average EU household cost‑of‑living increases of **EUR 300–500/year** once fully in force, mainly via higher transport and heating fuel costs.([eea.europa.eu](https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/publications/emissions-reduction-from-transport-in-europe-how-the-ets2-will-help-this-sector-meet-its-climate-targets?utm_source=openai)) - A European Parliament briefing (2026) indicates a **starting price around EUR 45/tCO₂ (in 2020 prices)** for ETS2 allowances, with the Social Climate Fund capped at **EUR 65 bn (EUR 54.6 bn if start is 2028)** to cushion vulnerable households.([europarl.europa.eu](https://www.europarl.eu.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2026/782604/EPRS_BRI%282026%29782604_EN.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - **Implication for 2026**: - **No direct ETS2 cost on road diesel in 2026**—implementation is pushed to 2028. - However, anticipation of ETS2 plus existing ETS coverage of **maritime and aviation** is already influencing logistics decisions (modal shifts, OEM investments in e‑trucks), which will gradually alter cost structures for Romanian shippers over the 2026–2028 horizon.([eea.europa.eu](https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/publications/emissions-reduction-from-transport-in-europe-how-the-ets2-will-help-this-sector-meet-its-climate-targets?utm_source=openai)) **EU ETS for maritime (relevant to Black Sea/Med routes)** - For shipping, the existing ETS for maritime reaches **100% coverage in 2026** (after phasing from 40% in 2024 and 70% in 2025). Market estimates put **carbon costs for a 10,000 TEU Asia–Europe ship at ~EUR 7–11 mn/year at full coverage**, representing roughly **6–7% of base freight rates** and potentially up to 12% if base rates fall.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShippingStocks/comments/1rlcxkm/2026_is_the_year_shipping_regulation_gets_real_eu/?utm_source=openai)) - These added ETS costs are already embedded into **bunker surcharges and ocean freight rates** on EU‑bound lanes, which indirectly influence trucking demand and pricing around EU ports, including Constanța and Med gateways used by Romanian trade. **Diesel price trends & cost outlook (2026)** - The Q4 2025 European Road Freight Benchmark report (Feb 2026) tracks an index of **diesel prices at the pump** and cites forecasts that Brent could fall to **USD 56/bbl in 2026** (‑9% y/y) and **USD 54/bbl in 2027** (‑4% y/y), implying a **mild downward trend in fuel costs** vs 2025.([ti-insight.com](https://ti-insight.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Q4-2025-European-Road-Freight-Rate-Benchmark-Report-Ti-Upply-IRU.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - ING’s January 2026 European transport outlook similarly notes that the **delay of ETS2** is a “setback for cost‑levelling,” and that **higher diesel prices in certain EU states suppress mileage**, while cheaper‑fuel states may see more trucking activity; Romania typically sits in the **lower‑to‑mid diesel price tier** within the EU.([think.ing.com](https://think.ing.com/downloads/pdf/bundle/european-transport-in-2026-a-capacity-reset-replacement-waves-and-the-electrification-push?utm_source=openai)) - Combined, these suggest that **2026 diesel costs in Europe are likely lower or flat vs 2025**, absent geopolitical shocks—partly easing operating costs for hauliers even before ETS2 arrives. **Impact on road freight costs in 2026** - Without ETS2 directly applied yet and with modestly softer diesel prices, **unit road freight costs in 2026 are more influenced by**: - **Driver wages and shortages** (upward pressure).([ti-insight.com](https://ti-insight.com/briefs/european-road-freight-2026-outlook/?utm_source=openai)) - **Tolls and infrastructure charges**, which some EU countries are increasing to align with climate policy (not specific to Romania, but relevant to cross‑border hauliers).([think.ing.com](https://think.ing.com/downloads/pdf/bundle/european-transport-in-2026-a-capacity-reset-replacement-waves-and-the-electrification-push?utm_source=openai)) - **Insurance and financing costs** for fleets. - Net effect: **marginal relief from fuel**, but **no large downward shift** in all‑in road freight rates given structural cost pressures and tight labour markets.([ti-insight.com](https://ti-insight.com/briefs/european-road-freight-2026-outlook/?utm_source=openai)) **Logistics demand for Romanian exporters/importers in 2026 – timing angle** 1. **Grain & agri exporters (corn/wheat)** - With Black Sea grain prices stabilizing at moderate levels and Romania increasing wheat exports beyond the entire 2024/25 season volume as of spring 2026, **Q2–Q4 2026** is set for **continued high seasonal demand** for: - Inland trucking of grains from interior silos to Danube/Constanța. - Port handling and vessel loading.([worldwidetradex.com](https://www.worldwidetradex.com/insights/black-sea-grain-trade-2026?utm_source=openai)) - Ukrainian transit flows racing “against time before the new harvest” via Romania amplify this demand specifically in **H1–early H2 2026**.([van.nongnghiepmoitruong.vn](https://van.nongnghiepmoitruong.vn/romanian-port-becomes-key-transit-hub-for-ukrainian-grain-d325675.html?utm_source=openai)) 2. **Industrial & automotive exporters** - OECD 2026 and trade data show steady export growth with foreign‑controlled firms handling 70% of exports; as euro‑area demand slowly improves and some restocking is expected in 2026, **road freight demand on RO–DE/IT/FR corridors should gradually firm through 2026**, especially for: - Automotive parts and assemblies. - Electrical machinery and industrial components.([oecd.org](https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/2026/03/oecd-economic-surveys-romania-2026_be38cf27/4844067e-en.pdf?utm_source=openai)) 3. **Import logistics (consumer, industrial inputs)** - Elevated but easing Med container rates and gradually normalizing global ocean capacity post‑Red Sea disruptions support a **progressive normalization of inbound flows** into EU and Balkan ports in 2026. This, plus possible US/European inventory restocking, points to **slightly stronger containerized import volumes** into Romania in **late 2026 vs early 2026**, with corresponding trucking demand spikes around key ports and intermodal nodes.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1p6jo8v/freightos_weekly_update_november_25_2025_excerpt/?utm_source=openai)) **Timing considerations for strategy** - **2026–2027**: “window” of relatively **benign fuel costs** and **no ETS2 surcharge on diesel** — supportive for cost‑sensitive exporters to secure **longer‑term freight contracts** before ETS2 starts tightening margins from 2028.([eea.europa.eu](https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/publications/emissions-reduction-from-transport-in-europe-how-the-ets2-will-help-this-sector-meet-its-climate-targets?utm_source=openai)) - **2028 onward**: ETS2 likely to **lift road freight fuel costs structurally**; Romanian exporters/importers with high road‑mileage exposure should expect higher surcharges and may need to: - Shift some flows to **rail or intermodal** where possible. - Invest in **fleet efficiency and alternative drivetrains** with partners.([eea.europa.eu](https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/publications/emissions-reduction-from-transport-in-europe-how-the-ets2-will-help-this-sector-meet-its-climate-targets?utm_source=openai)) **Sources (Timing Signals)** ([eea.europa.eu](https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/publications/emissions-reduction-from-transport-in-europe-how-the-ets2-will-help-this-sector-meet-its-climate-targets?utm_source=openai)) Sources: • Romania Trade Deficit Falls to €32.7bn in 2025 - The Romania Journal https://www.romaniajournal.ro/business/financial/romania-trade-deficit-falls-to-e32-7bn-in-2025/?utm_source=openai • n c u h a l n o i v s e r OECD Economic Surveys: https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/2026/03/oecd-economic-surveys-romania-2026_be38cf27/4844067e-en.pdf?utm_source=openai • Rumänien Exporte https://de.tradingeconomics.com/romania/exports?utm_source=openai • Black Sea Grain Trade: 2026 Market Outlook | WorldwideTradeX https://www.worldwidetradex.com/insights/black-sea-grain-trade-2026?utm_source=openai • Romanian port becomes key transit hub for Ukrainian grain https://van.nongnghiepmoitruong.vn/romanian-port-becomes-key-transit-hub-for-ukrainian-grain-d325675.html?utm_source=openai • Ukraine – Wheat: Export Pacing and Campaign Execution https://cropgpt.ai/ukraine-wheat-export-pacing-and-campaign-execution?utm_source=openai • Romania is increasing wheat exports and strengthening its position in the Black Sea region https://ukragroconsult.com/en/news/romania-is-increasing-wheat-exports-and-strengthening-its-position-in-the-black-sea-region/?utm_source=openai • Romania is increasing wheat exports and strengthening its position in the Black Sea region https://ukragroconsult.com/en/news/romania-is-increasing-wheat-exports-and-strengthening-its-position-in-the-black-sea-region/?utm_source=openai • Black Sea Grain Trade: 2026 Market Outlook | WorldwideTradeX https://www.worldwidetradex.com/insights/black-sea-grain-trade-2026?utm_source=openai • Ukraine – Wheat: Export Pacing and Campaign Execution https://cropgpt.ai/ukraine-wheat-export-pacing-and-campaign-execution?utm_source=openai • n c u h a l n o i v s e r OECD Economic Surveys: https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/2026/03/oecd-economic-surveys-romania-2026_be38cf27/4844067e-en.pdf?utm_source=openai • Romania Trade Deficit Falls to €32.7bn in 2025 - The Romania Journal https://www.romaniajournal.ro/business/financial/romania-trade-deficit-falls-to-e32-7bn-in-2025/?utm_source=openai • n c u h a l n o i v s e r OECD Economic Surveys: https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/2026/03/oecd-economic-surveys-romania-2026_be38cf27/4844067e-en.pdf?utm_source=openai • Black Sea Grain Trade: 2026 Market Outlook | WorldwideTradeX https://www.worldwidetradex.com/insights/black-sea-grain-trade-2026?utm_source=openai • Romania Trade Deficit Falls to €32.7bn in 2025 - The Romania Journal https://www.romaniajournal.ro/business/financial/romania-trade-deficit-falls-to-e32-7bn-in-2025/?utm_source=openai • Romania Trade Deficit Falls to €32.7bn in 2025 - The Romania Journal https://www.romaniajournal.ro/business/financial/romania-trade-deficit-falls-to-e32-7bn-in-2025/?utm_source=openai • Colliers | Romania’s road freight transport has grown by 69% in ten years, three times faster than the EU pace https://www.colliers.com/en-ro/news/romania-road-freight-transport?utm_source=openai • Colliers | Romania’s road freight transport has grown by 69% in ten years, three times faster than the EU pace https://www.colliers.com/en-ro/news/romania-road-freight-transport?utm_source=openai • European Road Freight: 2026 Outlook - Transport Intelligence https://ti-insight.com/briefs/european-road-freight-2026-outlook/?utm_source=openai • European Road Freight: 2026 Outlook - Transport Intelligence https://ti-insight.com/briefs/european-road-freight-2026-outlook/?utm_source=openai • European Road Freight: 2026 Outlook - Transport Intelligence https://ti-insight.com/briefs/european-road-freight-2026-outlook/?utm_source=openai • European Road Freight: 2026 Outlook - Transport Intelligence https://ti-insight.com/briefs/european-road-freight-2026-outlook/?utm_source=openai • European Road Freight: 2026 Outlook - Transport Intelligence https://ti-insight.com/briefs/european-road-freight-2026-outlook/?utm_source=openai • FREIGHTOS WEEKLY UPDATE - November 25, 2025 | Excerpt: “…US could enter a restocking cycle in 2026 as frontloaded inventories wind down.
