Abstract: This article studies the effects of the CAP Reform which introduced the decoupling of subsidies (2003) in the agricultural production, focusing on the cultivation of cereals, in the region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. The data for this research was gathered by agronomists, through a qualitative research. The valid responses reached a 67% percentage out of the total scientists who are responsible at the Stores selling pesticides and other supplies to farmers in the region. A Factor Analysis led to a Structural Equations Model (SEM) which was considered as the appropriate statistical tool and it was selected for further analysis. Based on the results, the significant impacts as well as the relationship between Cultivation, Production and Marketing of cereals with Local Economy was formed after the effects of the application of the revised CAP, successfully. Out of the three (3) hypotheses recorded, based on the pronouncements of the EU over the announcement of the specific revision, two (2) were accepted, while one (1) was rejected.
