Abstract:

The European Union Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is the subsidy system and aggregation of EU wide programmes targeted towards meeting the EU agricultural and environmental objectives which includes increase in agricultural production, protection of the environmental bio diversity, and fair standard of living of farmers.The Common Agricultural Policy was birthed as a direct solution to the food shortage in the region after World War 2. This policy has evolved over the years, with the present tenure being year 2014 to 2020 with an objective to ensure Europe Union reach a higher level of safe and quality food production, while preserving the natural resources that agricultural activities depend on.There are presently two operational modules of the CAP policy; Pillar 1 and 2. Pillar 2 focuses on Rural Development, which ultimately defines certain areas as Areas with Natural Constraints, ANC, or Less Favoured Area, LFA.This work analyzes the performance of areas classified as LFAs in the Czech Republic with a view to compare the performances of farms.This was done by the definition or derivation of business performance indicators, comparison of the indicators, and a regression analysis of a selected indicator to determine the factors affecting the performance.
