Less Favoured Areas Support Scheme

In Romania there are areas with natural limitations of agricultural productivity resulting in low agricultural outputs. Natural limitations are caused by unfavourable weather and biophysical conditions, which adversely impact the development of agricultural activities. The farmers in these areas have been and are being supported by measures meant to compensate them economically in their agricultural activities and to encourage them not to abandon these activities. The present study is an analysis of the package of measures, both from the previous and the current programming period, related to the areas facing natural constraints.
