Response from the competent authority: 'Response of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry
  and Food: From the provisions regulating the status of a farmer, which are contained
  in Article 24 of the Agricultural Land Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of
  Slovenia, No 71/2011 and No 58/2012; hereinafter: the "ALA"), it can be seen that
  in order to obtain the status of a farmer, a person must fulfil the conditions of
  cultivation of agricultural land (as an owner, tenant or other user of agricultural
  land), have the appropriate qualifications and derive a significant part of his/her
  income from agricultural activity. However, according to the ZKZ, significant income
  from agricultural activity is defined as the value of agricultural products on the
  farm, including income from agricultural policy measures and State aid, in the marketing
  year preceding the establishment of the conditions, which amounts to at least 2/3
  of the annual average wage per employee in the Republic of Slovenia in the same
  period.An agricultural organisation under the ZKZ is considered to be a company,
  agricultural cooperative or other legal entity registered for agricultural activity
  and generating more than 50% of its revenue from agricultural activity, including
  revenue from agricultural policy measures and State aids, as shown in its last audited
  income and expenditure account or profit and loss account.The only exception is
  Article 24(1)(4) of the CCL, under which a person who does not yet meet the income
  requirement (because he does not yet have land) may acquire the status of farmer
  if he proves that he will acquire agricultural land and that he will derive a significant
  part of his income from agricultural activities on the acquired land.'
