Morten Gylling Department of Food and Resource Economics, University of Copenhagen The presented study was conducted as part of a reference study on the economic framework conditions for the Danish agricultural sector compared with other EU member states , initiated by the Danish  Ministry of Food Agriculture and Fisheries. The study was finalized and reported by IFRO in 2011. Based on an international  benchmark analysis it was found that the increase total factor productivity in DK agriculture is lacking behind the EU average since year 2000. It was found that the arable crop production sector had a high technical productivity, but due to factors like high labor and capital cost the overall economic efficiency is only at medium level. This is illustrated by further national  comparative analysis of arable crop production in DK and UK (group 1 north), IT (group 2 south)  and BL ( group 3 east) . Finally GB was selected as the “farm level” case study due as the similarities between UK and DK.      The presented study aims to assess the economic effects of different framework conditions at farm level for DK and UK. The method used was to compare two “similar”  UK and DK arable farms with the same crop rotation and farmed area , ( approx. 770 hectares).   As a first step the  DK arable farm were described in detail regarding technical and economic performance. In the next step selected relevant UK regulations were imposed on the DK farm and the economic effect were assessed.  The following regulatory issues were selected for the further analysis based on their expected economic effect at farm level:    Nitrogen regulation  Pesticide regulation (taxes and available products)  Catch crops  Regulations for application of animal manure  General environmental regulation The differences in Nitrogen regulation and Pesticide regulation were found to have the major economic effects.
