The article presents an analysis of the levels of crop yields and economic stability for the main agricultural crop types in the Lower Danube region based on the examples of the Cahul, Taraklia, Vulcanest and the Reni, Izamil, Kealia Districts (Republic of Moldova and Ukraine respectively) - located in the zone of unstable crop farming - for years 2005-2012. The article also demonstrates the importance of an increased number of farmed crop types for stimulation of a higher economic stability of the crop yields. Finally, the work concludes with a number of recommendations for increasing the economic stability of the given farmed crop types.
