As shown by surveys, the incomes followed an average moderate upward trend over the 2004–2015 period. The income situation of agricultural holdings was concluded to vary strongly across EU-23 coun- tries. Even though the existing extensive system of support stabilizes the level of incomes (and despite an increase in the level of subsidies), it does not eliminate the significant vari- ation. Simultaneously, it was noted that per-hectare incomes (less subsidies) followed a slight downward trend in 2004– 2015, which indicates once again the important contribution of subsidies to the income situation of agricultural holdings in EU countries. Agricultural holdings in β€œnew” member states (except for the Czech Republic) achieve much lower incomes than EU-15 farms. ER -
