Zakres różnicowania poziomu wsparcia gospodarstw środkami Wspólnej Polityki Rolnej UE

The aim of this paper is to illustrate the extent to which the level of support for farms is measured by means of the Common Agricultural Policy. A detailed analysis was made of direct payments and payments for less-favored areas (LFAs). Their size was considered in relation to farm income. The calculations were made using the method used in the European Farm Accountancy Date Network (FADN). The share of funds from the CAP in analyzed farms in relation to income in 2015 was 37.5%. The economic size and agricultural type of the farm proved to be an important element in differentiating the level of farm support from the Common Agricultural Policy. The main elements of support from the EU CAP were payments made under direct payments and payments for less-favored areas. They accounted for 70.7% and 10.5% of total support respectively in 2015.
