The analysis draws on the results from two comprehensive and representative EU-level surveys carried out in 2018 and 2019, and their consecutive analysis at national level. These were the fi-compass survey on financial needs and access to finance of EU agricultural enterprises, and a survey of the financial needs of EU agri-food processing enterprises. The report does not take into account the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis and/or the effect of any new support scheme being set-up by the Member States and/or changes in legal basis and/or policies at European level to mitigate the crisis, as surveys and data available covered a period prior to its outbreak. This would need to be subject to further analyses by interested stakeholders, administrations and/or researchers.
