Agriculture represents an important economic component at both global and national levels with multiple functions, among which one stands out as being a main component, namely to ensure food supply for humanity. Except a few food products or agricultural products outside agriculture, all food products appear as finished products of various productive processes that give content to this important branch of the national economy. The need to increase the volume of food products for people required intensification of agricultural production. Therefore, the paper will describe aspects of the development of agriculture in the counties of Timis, Hunedoara, Caras-Severin, and Arad; a few problems as well as its potential. In the four counties studied, which have an agricultural production that is vital for the agricultural economy of the country, cultivated areas are expanding, unworked land is a real potential for bringing new crops into this area, and new technologies that will bring more to the economy of the country. The main objective for the paper is to determine the number of ha of unused land of the four countries. In order to determine unworked areas, the authors consulted various bibliographic materials from which were able to do some calculations, and conclusions were drawn on their basis. Currently, in Romania, the Ministry of Agriculture works on this problem regarding the merging of the parcels on large surfaces as well as searches for solutions regarding the increasing of the arable land by reducing the number of gardens.
