In our research approach, we applied a combination between the non-parametric method PCA, the multi-criteria decision analysis method TOPSIS and k-means cluster analysis. Our database comprised eight ratios, calculated based on FADN data from 94 regions specialised in COP production (23 countries). The results revealed the disparities created between farms during the 2009-2013 period due to different agricultural political conditions and to different recovery from financial crisis.
