Abstract (en)

The article provides an empirical study of the effects of agricultural policy current transfers (excluding the subsidies on investment) on income inequality within the agricultural community in Lithuania. Gini decomposition by income components analysis has been undertaken to identify how much the current aid payments to farmers contribute to total agricultural household’s income inequality. The results show that the provision of agricultural income support decreased the relative income inequality between agricultural households defined by both “broad” and “narrow” criteria.
