80 ANALYSIS AND PROSPECTIVE STUDIES CULTIVAR Issue 22 APRIL 2021 The impact of the policies inherent to the Portu- guese accession to the European Union (EU) in 1986, and the resulting opening of the markets, played a substantial role in this change. Among such conse- quences, we should highlight first the decrease in producer prices for arable crops and, subsequently, the decoupling of support for this type of crops, associated with the maintenance of coupled pay- ments to suckler cows, and sheep and goats. These policies had a particularly relevant impact on the poorest soils and soils with lower yields, thus pro- moting a change in their use.
