Resumen
Descripción
Using field survey data from Hungarian and Greek farmers, an evaluation was attempted
of their perceptions and intentions concerning the last major CAP reform. In
particular farmers’ future intentions concerning their farm investments, crop mix and
off-farm work are explored. Empirical findings suggest that although investment decisions
are similar across countries, there are differences concerning crop-mix and offfarm
work. Hungarian farmers are more willing to adjust their crop mix focusing in
their farming businesses and therefore less willing to increase off-farm work. For the
sample of Greek farmers the opposite is observed. The level of information concerning
CAP measures as well as the farm's size, the type of crop and farm specialization play
an important role in these individual decisions.
