Abstract
The paper presents basic rates characterizing investment activities of commodity farms in the European
Union`s Member States that were FADN participants in 2007-2012. The investment level was assessed
based on net and gross investment outlays, per hectare of utilized agricultural area (UAA) and per AWU
and value of investment rate. Based on those rates also the EU member states were ranked in terms of the
investment activities on farms. The analyses show that in Denmark, the Netherlands and Luxembourg the
highest level of those activities was recorded. The lowest rates characterizing investments were recorded in
Spain, Romania, Italy and Greece.
