2007 m. Nr. Priedas EU agriculture structural fund support results in Latvia
Since years 2004–2006 Latvia has access to support from four EU Structural Funds – European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), European Social Fund (ESF), European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) and Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG), which totals to 845,3 millions EUR, including support for agriculture and fisheries in the amount of 172,8 millions EUR or 20% of total support.
The acquisition of Structural Funds in Latvia proceeds successfully, because at the beginning of 2007 there have been approved projects which accounted for 96% of the total available Structural Fund financial support; for EAGGF it was 99% of available funding. For the Structural Funds, applicants have received already 32% of the total available EU funding, but within EAGGF project, the number was 71% and with FIFG projects 61%. The acquisition of the funds is most successful in two sectors – agriculture and fisheries, because within EAGGF and FIFG the allocated funds for years 2004 and 2005 have been acquired and the Structural Funds financed for 2006 were commenced to use. The implementation of the projects in agriculture for various measures is being finalized. After evaluating whether or not the Structural Fund financing has improved the situation in agriculture, I must conclude that the general indicators of agriculture have improved. However, as to growth rates, they still lag behind the common indicators for national economics. Intensification of production also decreases the number of employed in agriculture, but at the same time the productivity increases. Nevertheless, the productivity indicators still are behind the similar indicators in the EU developed Member States, because in Latvia the dominant forces in the agricultural production are small farms / companies.
