Abstract

Recent developments in the agricultural situation of Western Europe has led to inceased self‐sufficiency in importing countries and stagnation in the world trade of agricultural products. An examination is made of the effects of these developments on Danish agriculture and the Danish economy, which has been subject to a very rapid change of structure. Characteristics of the Danish agricultural support policy are commented upon as well as the issue of price support versus income support in relation to the objectives of greater efficiency and improved farm structure. The importance of other measures is emphasised, including action to impove the mobility of agricultural manpower. On the basis of past experience some comments are finally made about the enlargement of E.E.C. and its possible effects on the world trade, on the situation of overseas producers, including the developing countries, and possible ways of reducing the difficulties.
