Abstract

This chapter examines the relationship between agri-food’s primary and processing sectors at the EU Member State (MS) level in this century. In terms of sector value added and employment, substantially different economic developments in the primary and processing sectors are evident across the MSs. This could mean that the agri-food sectors in individual MSs may continue to have differing capacities to generate income and employment, which is a concern for the design of future agri-food policy. The analysis indicates that the capacity of the agri-food sector to deliver economic growth is more limited in some MSs than in others, indicating a need for further investigation of the underlying causes.
