MODEL

AGMEMOD is a system of partial equilibrium models for the agricultural, fisheries and food sectors. The regional focus of the AGMEMOD model is built on it representation of the agricultural commodity in each individual EU member states and neighbouring candidate and other countries. AGMEMOD covers the most important agricultural activities of each countries in detail. The scope of the commodity coverage varies between countries reflecting the different composition of the agricultural economies of different EU member states and countries. The model captures the interactions between sectors, and countries. AGMEMOD is mainly used to generate ”Baseline” – business as usual no policy change projections and also in the analysis of the impact of changes in agricultural market policies.
