Mutations in the Primary Sector (I) of the Geoeconomic System of Cluj-Napoca after 1990. The following article wishes to analyze, from a geographical perspective, the evolution of the primary sector (I) of the Cluj-Napoca economic geosystem, after the threshold moment of 1989/1990, and to identify the mutations that occurred in this subsystem’s economy during the transition period of 1990-2005. The geographical analysis of the primary sector starts from the status quo of the geoeconomic system, prior to the threshold moment, and emphasizes the pressure factors, both internal and external, that acted on the stability of the geosystem, and consequently on its subsystems, and brings forward the “rebalance phenomenon”, a rebalance that was based on dramatic mutations, thus leading to a new system, with a new structure and new relations between its components. In the geoeconomic system of Cluj-Napoca, before 1989, the primary sector had a sustainment role. Once the old system collapsed, the primary sector suffered changes that lead to structural-systemic mutations in the number and profile of agricultural units, in the system’s ability to attract workforce, in agricultural surfaces, in the number of livestock per category of units.

Keywords: mutations, primary sector, geoeconomic system of Cluj-Napoca, pressure factors, threshold moment of 1989/1990, transition.
