Abstract: In July 1921, the law for the agrarian reform in Transylvania, Banat, Crişana and Maramureş was adopted, with provisions adapted to the situation in Transylvania, regarding the legal status of the owners and the option for citizenship (Romanian or Hungarian) and the unit of measurement of agricultural areas, more precisely the iugăr (1 iugăre = 0.57 ha). The implementation of the agrarian reform was a long-term process that had a major impact on the structure of property and agriculture in Transylvania, aiming at the expropriation of large properties and the redistribution of land to the peasants. Although large property was not abolished, its areas were reduced, and agricultural production was significantly influenced in the first interwar decade.
