Descripción
The aim of the paper was to show the diversity of FADN dairy farms by presenting standard
deviations and Gini coefficients of main features describing these farms in 2011 in relation to 2004. It was
considered that the level of differentiation of surveyed households increased, so there was cluster analysis
used in order to find regions with the majority of households with similar characteristics, i.e. similar total
utilized agricultural area, an alike number of dairy cows with similar milk yield. On this basis there were
three typological groups carried out – with a predominance of intensive production, extensive production
and “milk factories”. It should be noted that despite the inclusion of all countries in the same instruments
of support under the CAP, the division for more efficient production in Western Europe and extensive in the
countries of Central and Eastern Europe is still visible.
