The RICA is a sample survey carried out in all the Members States of the European Union. It is the only harmonised European source on farm management.
The RICA is coordinated at European and National level by specific committees. The CREA is the liaison body between Italy and the European Union.
The information framework of the Italian RICA, wider than the Community one, allows to carry out analysis at the farm, sector and territorial level.
Farmers can submit their availability to participate the survey.
