Labour instead of acreage Current proposals for reforming direct payments of CAP's first pillar and their impact on agriculture

Agricultural policy reform 2013 Coupling direct payments to acreage causes problems:  Unfair distribution  Subsidizing of large farms and of rationalization  “new challenges”? (preservation of climate and environment, biodiversity)  high cost and bureaucratic effort  high share of farmer's income from direct payments  no policy for all people engaged in agriculture (employment, occupational safety, illegal employment) 2

Coupling direct payments to factor labour? Discussion: Fundamental reform of first pillar Three proposals are discussed in Germany Within framework of EU program PROGRESS: Continuation of a study of Kasseler Institut e.V. Calculation: Redistribution of direct payments among typical farms of German agricultural structure Comparison and evaluation of impacts Common analysis with social partners: How can one evaluate the different approaches from an European perspective? 3

Three fundamental reform approaches corrections of current acreage- related payments stepwise cutbacks abandoning of acreage-related payments direct payments for employment incentives additionally: coupling direct payments to farm's contribution to national social insurance as indicator of labour costs abandoning of acreage-related payments coupling direct payments to standardised labour demand 4 Correction Indicator labour cost Standard labour times

Corrections of current acreage-related payments 5  Proposal of Arbeitsgemeinschaft bäuerliche Landwirtschaft from the 1990s  stepwise cutbacks of direct payments  Crediting for 50% of actual labour costs Goals:  fair distribution  breaking competitive disadvantages of labour-intensive farms  promotion of willingness towards environment-friendly production among larger farms

Direct payments on the basis of indicators for labour cost foundation of calculation: farm's contribution to national social insurance proportionally calculated shares in labour costs contribution to national social insurance as reflection of labour of self- employed farmers and employees Goals: diminishing labour costs promotion of employment Safeguarding of farm's income and easing the work burden positive effects with respect to rural areas, environment, labour market 6

Direct payments on the basis of standardised labour demand  foundation of calculation according to imputed labour input of farms for different production techniques  fixed degression (reflection of rationalization)  approved calculation units of German Berufsgenossenschaften (Accident Prevention & Insurance Associations)  existence of different versions in every member state Goals:  consideration of higher labour demands among labour-intensive, diversified farms (safeguarding of income)  more reasonable distribution of tax money  positive effects with respect to rural areas, environment, diversified farming 7

Calculation: From acreage-related payments to labour-related payments Total value of claim-for-payments in Germany within the framework of direct payments (5.5 billion Euro in 2006*) relative to  standardised labour time  contribution to national social insurance 6 Euro direct payments per one imputed labour hour 2,2 Euro direct payments per 1 Euro contribution to national social insurance * source: Statistical Yearbook, Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection 2009

Calculation example concerning the impacts of the approaches 9

Correction/grading: 409,000 € Strong decline in case of calculation according to contribution to national social insurance: 364,000 € Strongest decline in case of calculation according to standardized labour time: 148,000 € Specialised crop farm 1,470 ha acreage, grassland 138 ha additionally broilers per year fattening pig Direct payments in 2013: 465,000 €

Correction/grading: 494,000 € Strong increase in case of calculation according to contribution to national social insurance: 603,000 € Strong decline in case of calculation according to standardized labour time: 208,000 € Mixed farm 1400 ha acreage, greenland 285 ha additionally 300 dairy cows + followers, 1000 fattening pigs, suckler cows Direct payments in 2013: 494,000 €

Correction/grading: 34,000 € Decline in case of calculation according to contribution to national social insurance: 27,436 € Minor increase in case of calculation according to standardized labour time: 35,000 € Mixed farm 99 ha acreage, greenland 21 ha additionally root crop and vegetables 30 dairy cows, calf fattening, fattening pigs direct payments in 2013: 34,000 €

Correction/grading: 24,500 € Minor increase in case of calculation according to contribution to national social insurance, opportunities for adoption: 26,400 € Somewhat stronger increase in case of calculation according to standardized labour time: 27,500 € Pig fattening farm 70 ha acreage, 6 ha greenland 1,400 fattening pigs per year additionally 8,400 broilers Direct payments in 2013: 24,500 €

Correction/grading: 38,900 € Decrease of ca. one third in case of calculation according to contribution to national social insurance, opportunities for adoption: 26,200 € Increase in case of calculation according to standardized labour time: 43,500 € Dairy farm 100 ha acreages, 50 ha greenland 80 cows + followers Direct payments in 2013: 38,900 €

Correction/grading: 7,900 € More than doubled in case of calculation according to contribution to national social insurance, opportunities for adoption: 16,500 € More than doubled in case of calculation according to standardized labour time: 16,800 € Dairy farm 20 ha acreage, 18 ha greenland 23 cows + followers Direct payments in 2013: 7,900 €

Comparative discussion of strengths and weaknesses 17

 No redistribution, no direct winners  Labour-intensive, larger farms with disadvantages with respect to rationalisation are not subject to change (more competitive, economically stabilised)  Farming among other farm types as before But:  Incentives for farm splitting  Danger of further separation of farm branches and rationalisation  Uncertain use of reduced payments  Payments are drawn from regions with labour-extensive structures (e.g. Czech Republic) 18 Corrections: Direct payments are going to be cut among labour- extensive crop farms

If labour gains a more prominent role, there are significant redistributions of direct payments among all farm sizes! 19

 Economical stabilizing of labour-intensive farms counteract structural change  Differentiation of farming: positive impacts on environment (e.g. biodiversity) and regional economy  Promotion of labour prepares agriculture for expected higher cost of energy (diesel, nitrogen fertilizer)  Coupling to contribution to national social insurance promotes direct employment (as opposed to illegal employment) 20 “New challenges” are going to be generally strengthened by promotion of labour instead of acreage!

1.Problem of classification – what is a farm branch? 2.How does the model react towards regionally different and changing wage levels? 3.How strong is the actual employment incentive? 4.Are such employments promoted which are qualitatively high and innovative, respectively? 5.Social insurance systems are very differently organised among the member states (payment of contribution). 21 But: in case of direct payments according to contribution to national social insurance as indicator for labour costs:

1.Part-time, rationalized crop farms are going to get lesser direct payments. 2.Fixed approach for the calculation of standardized labour demand 3.No promotion of long-term employment, only indirect employment incentives 4.Danger of further rationalization of farm branches 5.Combination with proof of employment necessary? 22 But: in case of direct payments according to standardized labour demand:
