Denmark In The European Community: A Decade Of Agricultural Change

Abstract

Denmark's membership in the European Community resulted in changes in nearly all sectors of its agricultural economy. Membership enabled Denmark to maintain tariff-free trade with other EC members, while EC export subsidies assisted in developing markets in non-EC countries. Farm size increased along with specialized farm production. The EC has encouraged production of peas, beans, rapeseed, and wheat resulting in greater self-sufficiency in feeds. Membership in the EC did not prevent a serious farm crisis due to high interest rates. The U.S. share of Danish agricultural imports declined from 17 percent to 8 percent since Denmark joined the EC, reflecting EC protection, greater Danish self-sufficiency, and fierce competition.
