Summary/Abstract: An important part of the evaluation of the economic policy of the European Union (EU) is the observation of microeconomic consequences of government subsidies in agriculture. This paper mentions some basic theoretical and practical background regarding agriculture subsidies and agricultural products on the Czech market and impacts of implemented price intervention programs. The results of statistical analyses of source materials have revealed the largest proportion of subsidies in the outputs of Czech agricultural companies in the last years as compared to our neighbors, and also in up to current balance of subsidy level and aid in terms of economic size of the companies. The European Commission's support of limiting direct payments for agriculture from the EU budget based on the size of companies is unfavorable for the Czech Republic and will have an impact on the price level of agricultural products.
