Introduction
The study analyses some economic growth of the agricultural industry of the selected EU-15-member states in Central-East Europe for the period of 2010 and 2017. These EU member states are Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Greece, Austria and Denmark.
The research focuses on the number of the annual working unit (AWU) and central subsidies changes for farmers and also on balance of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and the National Domestic Investment in case of performance of the EU-15-member states and their influences on the investment in agricultural industry and the real labour productivity per annual working unit.
In these selected EU-15 member states the economic development needs for improving the financial structure and environment friendly advanced technology. Some experts focused on their importance and declared that “Companies need for financial resources, even for investment relevant to the pollution, in any case the financial institutes should follow the financial conditions and risk management of the firms or smallmedium enterprises, for example analyse all business cycles, evaluate the risks and determine risk sensitivity of company” (Hegedűs-Zéman, 2016). The job-work places creating can and also should accompany with extending environment friendly technology in order to decrease and mitigate gas emission causing the global warming. The green investment strategy appears in the agricultural sector concerning the water management, irrigation and renewable energy resource use with international experiences of the EU, East Asian and Pacific Region (see in Zsarnóczai – Bence, 2018; Gál et al, 2016).
