Abstract
This paper analyses the trends and sources of change in agricultural revenue for the new European Union (EU) member states, namely Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. These countries still lag behind the old EU member states in terms of profitability, productivity, and farm size. Thus, assessment of the patterns in agricultural revenue changes in these countries may provide evidence for reasonable policy making. The period covered is 2011-2019. The analysis is carried out for selected agricultural products (wheat, milk, poultry, potatoes). The logarithmic mean Divisia index is applied for the decomposition. The results indicate that the effects of scale, productivity, and price change varied across the countries and products. Therefore, dedicated policy measures and pathways are needed for each particular context.
