ESSAY

The CAP is the Common Agricultural Policy. The basic aims of the Cap when it was set up in 1962 in Europe were to create a single, internal market in which agricultural products could move freely; to give financial support to farmers who accept CAP and to increase the average field size, farm size and farmers income. in this Essay we are going to talk about the Advantages and the Disadvantages of it.
On one hand, with reference to the advantages, farmers don`t need to compete against other farmers. they don`t need to use their savings if they want to start farming. If they increase the size and the farmer`s income, they not only can produce more but also earn more. These are the advantages because they can increase the farm size, move freely and give financial support so this benefits them.
On the other hand, however, there were also disadvantages. for example, there isn`t any other market to sell products for them to be more expensive; if the farmers don`t accept CAP they won`t receive money; if they don`t have money, they can`t increase the farm. These are the disadvantages because if these things happen, it is more difficult to earn money.
To sum up, the CAP would have been more productive if only had benefited farmers without money.
