Abstract: Suckler cow farming is an important sector in Greece, providing a significant contribution to the country's economy and rural development. This sector plays a crucial role in preserving the country's biodiversity and maintaining rural landscapes. Financial index analysis is an important tool that can be used to assess the performance of suckler cow farms and improve their financial viability and productivity. By analysing key financial indicators such as profitability, liquidity, solvency, and efficiency, farmers and policymakers can identify areas that require improvement and implement strategies to increase profitability and sustainability. The findings suggest that there are trade-offs between the different financial ratios and the production of suckler cow farms. Larger farms may benefit from economies of scale and greater efficiency, but they may also require higher levels of debt financing. Smaller farms may have higher financial efficiency but limited credit access.
