摘要：This report compares the dynamics of productivity growth in the last decade in the dairyfarm sector of three EU Member States: Estonia, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom(England and Wales). The evolution of the dairy farm sector in these countries ischaracterised by a decline in the number of dairy farms and an increase in the average herdsize per farm. Policy factors have a strong impact on productivity growth at the farm. InEstonia, the dairy farm sector has expanded significantly in recent years and the productivitygrowth of the sector is led largely by a resource reallocation in favour of a small number oflarge and productive farms. In the Netherlands, the dairy farm sector adjusted to the differentpolicy environments over time and the productivity growth of the sector is driven largely byproductivity improvement at the farm level through technological adoption and efficientresource use. In the United Kingdom, productivity growth comes from the exit of smallerfarms and farm size expansion of the remaining farms.
