Abstract

Abstract: This paper provides an analysis of the trends and the main components of public support in agriculture in Italy over the last twenty years (2000-2019). For this analysis, the rich information contained in the CREA database "Agricultural expenditure of the Regions" was used, the most updated and constant source of information on public spending in agriculture, with regional details that distinguish it from other official statistical sources (Sotte, 1993; Sotte, 2000).Overall public support for the agri-food sector in the period under consideration decreased by about EUR 4 billion (from EUR 15.613 billion in 2000 to just below EUR 12 billion in 2019). The share of support in agricultural added value has also decreased: from 55% in 2000 to about 34% in 2019. Looking at the individual categories of support (EU CAP 1st and 2nd pillar funds, tax and social security reliefs, state transfers and regional funds) taken into consideration in the analysis, it is clear that this decrease is due to the halving of tax and social security reliefs (from 27 % to 17%), and the significant reduction in the support provided by the budgets of the Regions and Autonomous Provinces (from over 4 billion euros in 2000 to 1.7 billion euros in 2019). To this adds the reduction in governmental transfers (from 4.3% to 3.9%). As a result, EU support was consequently stable in the first decade and increased in the last ten years (from 43% in 2000 to 64% in 2019).

2000-2019年意大利农业国家补贴概况

摘要:本文分析了过去20年(2000-2019年)意大利公众对农业支持的趋势和主要组成部分。在进行这项分析时，使用了农业综合评估数据库“各区域农业支出”所载的丰富资料，这是关于农业公共支出的最新和经常的资料来源，其区域细节使其区别于其他官方统计来源(Sotte, 1993年;Sotte, 2000)。在此期间，公众对农业食品部门的总体支持减少了约40亿欧元(从2000年的156.13亿欧元减少到2019年的略低于120亿欧元)。农业增加值中的支持份额也有所下降:从2000年的55%降至2019年的34%左右。看着各个类别的支持(欧盟上限1号和2号柱子基金、税收和社会保障浮雕,状态转移和区域基金)考虑分析,很明显,这种减少是由于减半的税收和社会保障浮雕(从27%到17%),并显著减少的预算提供的支持地区和自治省份(从2000年的超过40亿欧元到17亿欧元在2019年)。除此之外，还有政府转移支付的减少(从4.3%降至3.9%)。因此，欧盟的支持在前十年保持稳定，并在后十年有所增加(从2000年的43%增加到2019年的64%)。

期刊介绍： Economia agro-alimentare/Food Economy is a triannual peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Franco Angeli Edizioni on behalf of the Italian Society of Agri-food Economics (SIEA), founded in 1996 by the then President of SIEA Fausto Cantarelli. It offers an international forum for the discussion and analysis of mono and interdisciplinary socio-economic, political, legal and technical issues, related to agricultural and food systems. It welcomes submissions of original papers focusing on agriculture, food, natural resources, safety, nutrition and health, including all processes and infrastructure involved in providing food to populations; as well as the processes, inputs and outputs involved in consumption and disposal of food and food-related items. Analyses also include social, political, economic and environmental contexts and human resource challenges. Submissions should be addressed to an international audience of researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, and they may consider local, national, or global scales.
