COMPARISON OF FARMERS' INCOMES IN THE EU MEMBER STATES
Abstract
With the main stated objectives of the CAP in mind, relevant comparisons
that involve the incomes of farmers are made. EU official data sources
are used to describe income differences between holdings of different
sizes and types and between Member States. Comparisons between the
incomes of farmer household and other groups in society have to rely on
ad hoc information. Recommendations relate to the support of small
farms, actions to mitigate instability and to fill the important gap in farm
household income information.
