Abstract
This chapter focuses on differences in farm performance, concentrating on the Netherlands, where there has been a long history of analysing farm performance and its determinants. The chapter reviews some of the conclusions on (i) the factors that influence differences in farm financial performance; (ii) the role of business strategies; and (iii) differences in innovation and the adoption of new technology. It concludes by drawing some potential implications of the findings for the process of adjustment to policy reform.
