Slovenian farms scattered in small rural villages are characterised by poor utilizable agricultural areas (UAA) which are lower than the average value assessed in the European Union countries. The assessment of the economic consequences of financial subsidies allocated by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) towards farmers is made by an annual survey in a sample of farms belonging to the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN). The purpose of this paper was to investigate by a quantitative approach, over the time 2004-2013, in the FADN dataset main correlations among different economic variables, such as financial subsidies allocated by the CAP on Slovenian farms stratified in function of the main typology of farming which is a dummy variable of the productive specialization. Summing up, funds allocated by the first and second pillar of the CAP have acted on the farm level of income hence, the European Union by specific funds should implement the level of investments stimulating also the level of land capital pivotal in getting better the technical and economic efficiency in Slovenian farms.
