Manolis Christofakis, Andreas Gkouzos

• The aim of this article is to analyse the spatial distribution and regional efficiency of the agricultural sector in Greece and to examine the correlation between sectoral efficiency and the related financial weight given by the Regional Operational Programmes for the 2000-06 period. The key finding of the paper is that funding the agricultural sector at a regional level should take into account the sectoral specialisation of regions along with the assistance of branches which represent geographic associations with the agricultural sector.
