Agriculture is an important industry for all EU countries and they all receive EU funds through the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). These funds support farmers directly through the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund and rural areas, climate action and the management of natural resources through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
The agriculture industry supported 9,476,600 jobs in 2019 and 3,769,850 jobs in food production (in 2018) and accounted for 1.3% of the EU’s gross domestic product in 2020.
Romania had the most people employed in agriculture in 2019, while Germany had the most people employed in food production in 2018.
For every euro spent, the farm sector creates an additional €0.76 for the EU economy. The gross value added from farming – the difference between the value of everything that the EU’s primary agricultural sector produced and the cost of the services and goods used in the production process – was €178.4 billion in 2020.
