Set aside and income support in agriculture: problems emerging from a quantitative analysis effectuated through the INEA databank

Zezza, A.

The paper is concerned with the possible impact of the new EC structural policies on Italian agriculture. First, a quantitative analysis is performed on computing margins for farms within the RICA network for several crops: wheat, durum wheat, maize, soyabeans and sunflower, in order to establish for which crops and areas it will be economically viable to set aside land.
