Namen studije je analiza prehranskih navad Slovencev v zadnji fazi tranzicije. Podatki iz ankete o porabi v gospodinjstvih so bili osnova za ocenjevanje izdatkovnih in cenovnih elasticnosti povprasevanja, in sicer za posamezna gospodinjstva, razdeljena v dohodkovne razrede, in za Slovenijo v celoti. Povprasevanje po hrani, natancneje po sedmih skupinah živil, je ocenjeno kot simultan sistem enacb povprasevanja po teh skupinah živil. Uporabili smo metodo linearne aproksimacije skoraj idealnega sistema povprasevanja (LA/AIDS). Izracuni izdatkovnih in cenovnih elasticnosti kažejo, da se v Sloveniji izgubljajo prehranske navade, znacilne za tranzicijske države, postajajo pa vse bolj podobne prehranskim navadam prebivalcev v razvitih državah z nekaterimi posebnostmi.

During the 1990s Slovenia has moved toward a more market-based economy with a greater role for the private sector in asset ownership, production and price determination. The Slovenian food industry comprises a small number of producers operating in a comparatively modest market. Primary and secondary data analysis indicates that firms are largely oriented to a domestic market that is significantly

Paper investigates income effects of different direct payments policy options after the accession of Slovenia to the EU by application of a static deterministic total income model for rural households in Slovenia (TIM). Modelis based on actual income data of 120 agricultural households in Slovenia. With respect to the baseline situation before the accession and accession agreement, income situation of analyzed households is likely to improve under all analyzed policy scenarios. The estimated benefits are highest in case of the standard direct payments scheme, followed by basic flat-rate area payment option (entirely decoupled). Model results reveal also that 2003 policy reform will have redistributive impacts in favour of agricultural households engaged in extensive agricultural production.V prispevku je prikazana primerjava dohodkovnih učinkov različnih shem neposrednih plačil za vzorec 120 kmečkih gospodarstev v Sloveniji po pristopu k Evropski uniji.

This study reviews the extent to which the current CAP and related EU policies promote sustainable competitiveness and innovation in agriculture, and assesses the current legislative proposals for CAP reform. It finds that the current policy does not realise its potential and that, although the reform package represents an improvement, particularly in its proposals for Pillar 2, more could usefully be done. Recommendations are made to strengthen the balance of the package and improve proposals for each pillar of the CAP. Key ingredients include better advice, knowledge transfer, more use of locally tailored, strategically planned measure-packages, fuller sustainability-proofing and new incentives for innovation.

Outlook on Croatian pork meat market up to the year 2030 was simulated by AGMEMOD partial equilibrium model. The results simulate future changes in the number of pigs, production, consumption, imports, exports and price of pork meat under ceteris paribus market conditions, along with the existing structure of agrarian policy until the end of the simulated period. Despite the decrease in the number of pigs and pork meat production before and after EU accession, a slight recovery of the pork meat market is expected in the forthcoming period. However, domestic production will not meet domestic demand, and Croatia will continue to import pork meat by the end of the simulated period.

After five years of debates, consultations and negotiations, the European institutions reached an agreement in 2013 on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for the 2014-2020 period. The outcome has major implications for the EU’s budget and farmers’ incomes but also for Europe’s environment, its contribution to global climate change and to food security in the EU and in the world. It was decided to spend more than €400 billion during the rest of the decade on the CAP.The official claims are that the new CAP will take better account of society's expectations and lead to far-reaching changes by making subsidies fairer and ‘greener’ and making the CAP more efficient. It is also asserted that the CAP will play a key part in achieving the overall objective of promoting smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. However, there is significant scepticism about these claims and disappointment with the outcome of the decision-making, the first in which the European Parliament was involved u...

There is a growing consensus among developed economies about the significance of non-commodity outputs of agriculture, such as its environmenal and spatial impacts, and its contribution towards employment and viability of rural areas. It however remains open, which of these functions (often referred as attributes of multifunctional agriculture) provide plausible arguments for public support towards agriculture and acceptance by international trade partners. The paper attempts to assess, which attributes of multifunctional agriculture are acceptable to international trade partners and can therefore be provided with assisence of agricultural policy mechanisms. In principle, none of the attributes of multifunstional agriculture is contestable in the actual multilateral trade negotiations, as long as support will remain market-neutral.
