DISQUS

Martin Stabe: Netherlands to reveal EU farm subsidies

  • Gary Reed · 1 year ago
    I want to know how much each country in the European Common Market pays its farmers in subsidies. In other words, how much each country subsidizes its farmers as a percentage-not dollars, euro's,etc.
    What percentage is the U.S. farmer subsidized?
    Respectfully, Gary Reed

    Gary,

    Sorry I don't really know how you would go about calculating that. Presumably the percentage of subsidy would vary widely depending on the farmer.

    The most comprehensive source of the EU data is Farmsubsidy.org.

    Its US equivalent is the Farm Subsidy Database compiled by the Environmental Working Group.
