Farmers' income up almost 5%

Tuesday 11 March 2008

The income of Dutch farmers rose 4.9% in 2007 compared to a year earlier which is slightly lower than the European average increase of 5.4%, said the European statistics body Eurostat on Tuesday.

The rise is the result of higher prices for meat and agricultural products, said Eurostat.
