This applies to the Median farmer per country, see the Glossary for details. Farm gate pricing means monetary value for volumes paid directly to farmers. Examples of increases are living income reference prices and premiums aimed at increasing the net income rather than covering costs of compliance. Certification premiums aimed at covering the cost of compliance and the mandatory Living Income Differential (LID) are not included. This does not include Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). A living income is not the goal, but only the first step. Strategies should help farmers go beyond the living income.
