Summary/Abstract: This paper's main aim is to analyze and explore the roles and interactions of key stakeholders within the Romanian food chain, analyzing how European Union policies and local dynamics influence these stakeholders. The paper underscores the importance of understanding these interactions for effective policymaking and sustainable development in the agri-food sector. This research presents a synthesis of the existing scientific literature on stakeholders in food supply chains, with a particular focus on Romania. It reviews the current state of knowledge on the distinctive dynamics of the Romanian food chain and contributes to the theoretical frameworks on stakeholder engagement and governance in agri-food systems. By bridging European-level policies with local realities, this paper offers valuable recommendations for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners aimed at promoting sustainable development in the Romanian food sector.
