General Development DLG-TrendmonitorEurope: Farmers in Europe with still high willingness to invest

Abstract:
Low prices for grain, milk and meat, increasing regulations for farmers and the ongoing discussion about production systems in agriculture lead to unsecure business conditions for farmers in 2015. Farmers were less satisfied with their business situation and also less confident with the business expectations. Also the willingness to invest declined during the year 2015. Focus for farm development is optimizing production to reach lower costs of production. Also digitization is in focus of farmers, but only a minority establish a concept for data use.
