Overview
Czechia’s agricultural production predominantly focuses on crops, including cereals and oilseeds, as well as grains, potatoes, sugar beet, hops, fruit, vegetables, and grapevines. Livestock production is largely focused on bovine animals, pigs, poultry, sheep, and goats. Approximately 78% of the country’s population live in rural areas.
Goal and strategy
The Czech CAP Strategic Plan (CSP) aims at ensuring the sustainable competitiveness and resilience of farms while improving the protection of natural resources and the climate. It substantially contributes to improving the redistribution of financial support to small- and medium-sized farms, strengthening the position of organic farming, and improving the vitality and quality of life in rural areas through investments.
