Abstract

The present study aims to analyse farmers intentions to invest in the period 2014-2020. It focused on investments in land, machinery, building, training and quota and production rights. It provides up-to-date information on EU farm investment patterns, which is not otherwise available in traditional agricultural statistics (FADN, Eurostat Farm Structure Survey). Given the limitations of the sample, the data cannot be used to predict farm investment in EU-28 over the period 2014-2020, nor to evaluate to what extent CAP payments stimulate investment in EU farms. Nevertheless it contributes to the understanding of the determinants of investment decisions and farmers reaction to the EU Agricultural policy.
