The agricultural measures under the agriculture and rural development priority of the two regional operational programmes have a wide remit. The primary purpose of the measures is to improve competitiveness and the environment. A job creation target was set only in the case of the potato sub-measure. In that sub-measure 29 jobs have been created out of a 2000-06 target of 80.
