Abstract: Sustainable agriculture is the basis for long-term economic growth ensuring employment for the rural population. The aim of this research is to assess the dynamics in agricultural output, investments, direct payments and energy use in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) during 2008-2017. The method of research is the evaluation of production factors generated by agriculture and related activities carried out by the model of the EAA system. The performance of the agricultural holdings is measured using economic indicators: output of the agricultural 'industry', gross fixed capital formation (GFCF), direct payments, return on capital, total labour force input, average farm income. We discuss the trends in absolute and relative indicators relates to different aspects of the sustainable agricultural development to identify the key priorities of the CAP in the Baltic States which are new European Union Member States.
