Abstract

This paper aims at an assessment of Slovenian livestock production potential in light of approaching EU accession. Emphasis is given to environment friendly production, taking into account current production structures and anticipated agricultural policy after accession. Economic effects of different accession scenarios have been studied, applying APAS-PAM methodology. Results reveal importance of negotiation outcomes for Slovenian livestock production. Programmes for environmental and landscape assistance will have much higher impacts on future livestock production and proportion of recognised environment friendly farms than at present.
