| Summary: | The European Union’s Common Agricultural
Policy (CAP) has evolved since its inception in 1962 and
since the expansion of the EU to 28 member countries (EU28 -
EU27, since the departure of the United Kingdom on 31
January 2020). In its latest iteration published in June
2018, the 2021-2027 CAP, now due for implementation in 2023,
increases environmental sustainability requirements, while
offering more flexibility to member state governments. Based
on a detailed modelling exercise, consultations with both
the Croatian authorities and agricultural stakeholders, this
report supports the Croatian authorities in their efforts to
comply with new CAP requirements in the livestock subsectors
of pigs, beef and dairy production. Specifically, the report
addresses two knowledge gaps: production systems,
profitability and economic sustainability of production
systems; and the effectiveness and equity of public support.
The authors examine the main trends in productivity, output,
prices, costs, and production technology on which to base
their findings. The report also provides a detailed analysis
of all types of public support available to livestock
farmers, including rural development support, direct coupled
and decoupled support, and subsidized diesel fuel, general
expenditure on administration, knowledge and education
expenditure, subsidized loans. Sections 2-4 include results
from the Gap 1 analysis for each of the three subsectors,
while section 5 provides a detailed analysis of public
expenditure on the livestock sector in Croatia. Section 6
provides an overview of the revised CAP and some potential
consequences it may have for the Croatian livestock sector.
Policy suggestions are listed in section 7. Section 8 concludes. |
