Income and Price Policy in Swedish Agriculture Since World War II
1965
Sandberg, Lars G.
Since 1947 Sweden has been following an explicit policy of maintaining a domestic agriculture capable of supplying the country's food needs in case of national isolation. This is an integral part of Sweden's foreign policy of neutrality. At the same time, the aim is to provide the agricultural work force with a standard of living equal to that of “comparable” groups. The policy has mainly been implemented through variable import fees. Three different systems have been used to establish these fees, with varying degrees of success in maintaining both agricultural incomes and some flexibility in production. The government has also aided the modernization of agricultural production. It is estimated that the current cost of supporting agriculture is between $200 and $300 million per year.
