Small Farmers in the Czech Republic and European Union
Original language description
Small farms play a key role in the European Union's (EU) rural areas for social reasons and involvement in local food systems. Therefore, Common Agricultural Policy of the EU supports the farms up to 10 ha under simplified subsidies scheme. The aim of the paper is to describe the small farms in the Czech Republic and compare them with the EU in key indicators. The data is taken from Eurostat for farms with more than 0 ha up to 10 ha (included) for years 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2020. CR belongs among countries with the lowest share of small farms, but it increased from 32.5% in 2010 to 38.8% in 2020. Share of small farms on the total land slightly exceeded 1.0% in the observed years. Also, the share of labour force in small farms is one of the lowest in CR (it increased from 7.8% in 2010 to 11.2% in 2020). The trend of shares of small farms on the total number of farms and on AWU in the CR goes the opposite way (increase) than in the EU (decrease). The share on the farmed land is still. Detailed analysis of EU member states showed that small farms are still important part of the agri-food systems in certain countries. Hence, their support with simplified subsidy scheme is well-founded. International Days of Statistics and Economics, Prague, 4 - 5 September 2025.
