Overview
Slovak agriculture, together with forestry, represents around 2.8% of the gross value added of the country’s economy. It plays a crucial role in providing food and public goods by utilizing the resources of rural areas. Slovakia produces mainly cereals, oilseeds, industrial crops, and forage plants, while milk, cattle and pigs dominate the animal production. The socio-economic conditions differ across the regions of Slovakia. The lack of labour opportunities and limited access to basic services remain the main challenges in rural areas.
Goal and strategy
Slovakia’s strategy is aimed at ensuring the sustainable competitiveness and resilience of farms and a fairer income for agricultural producers with special attention to small and young farmers. At the same time, the Plan also focuses on improving the protection of natural resources and the climate. It contributes substantially to improving the vitality and quality of life in rural areas through investments, knowledge transfer and innovation.
