Between years 2004 and 2006 a support via EU Structural find co-financing will be made available to the Latvian countryside. The support is a part of the Rural Development Plan (RDP) and 4 priorities of the Single Programming Document (SPD). The support rate has been differentiated by territory both for the purposes of RDP measure - less Favoured Areas and Areas with Environmental Restriction, as well as in order to assure an efficient implementation of SDP priority No1 measures. The differentiation is based on the social-economic situation in Latvian local municipalities, and on the role of the agricultural sector in the economy of each individual territory. the present publication is an attempt to demonstrate the results of our research, aimed at grouping the local municipalities according to the role played by agriculture in maintaining the area viable - for the purposes of implementing the RDP activities and to assess the intensity of support - and to compare them with the results obtained by other researchers on the socio-economic situation in the local municipalities - for the purpose of implementing the SPD activities. Our comparative analysis demonstrates that about 60% of Latvian rural local governments and agricultural producers have been made eligible to enjoy the most favourable terms and conditions to receive support from these measures. This is due to their comparatively inferior socioeconomic development level, and a higher economic development and individual income dependency from agricultural production. The publication includes 3 main conclusions: the application of both research methods is critical in the 2004-2006 programming period and further on.
