- Income situation is particularly difficult, with stagnation since the end of the 1990s.
- Due to the significant drop in 2009 linked to the impact of the economic crisis, agricultural income has come back to its 1993 level (erasing all the gains of the reform process started in 1992).
- On average, agricultural income as a share of average total income in the economy is 61% for EU-15 and 31% for EU-12
