Farm Size Structure in Greek Agriculture

Abstract

Although the average farm size in Greece has increased since 1960, there has been no decline in the percentage of farms in the smallest-sized group. The continued existence of these small farms can be attributed to part-time farming, and to the farm-family life cycle. In addition, the lack of alternative investment opportunities retards the change in land ownership structure. The average farm size over regions is found to be negatively related to population pressure, positively related to industrialization, and positively related to mechanization. The EC structural policy, presently combined with restrictive price policy, is expected to stimulate average farm-size growth. Copyright 1986 by Oxford University Press.
