Agricultural subsidies are an important strategy of the European Union, for improving farm incomes, economic consolidation of the agricultural sector, raising living standards and thus ensuring food security. This paper tries to answer at two questions. First, if there were significant changes between 2007-2013 and 2014-2018, of the indicators: direct payments for crop production per hectare of agricultural land and direct payments on UVM (Large Cow Unit), as direct indicators and the share of direct payments in the product of the farm and the gross product per UAM (Annual unit of work) as impact indicators. Second, if the differences of these indicators compared to the European Union average deviate significantly. The statistical indicators used were: average, standard deviation.
