In the EU, the loss of agricultural productivity due to soil erosion by water is estimated at 0.43% per annum, on the basis of the combined outputs of biophysical and agronomic models.
Cost of agricultural productivity loss due to soil
Similarly, the agricultural productivity loss due to soil erosion in the European Union is estimated to be around 300 million € ( Panagos et al., 2024) using a combination of the recent soil loss assessment and the well-known Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) computable general equilibrium (CGE) simulation model.
In this study, soil erosion modellers and economists come together to carry out an economic evaluation of soil erosion in the European Union (EU). The study combines biophysical and macroeconomic models to estimate the cost of agricultural pro- ductivity loss due to soil erosion by water in the EU.

The net cost of soil erosion in the agricultural sector is about 300 million and in GDP about 155 million. In monetary terms the crop productivity loss is much higher than the loss in agricultural sector and GDP.
Cost of agricultural productivity loss by soil erosion
the cost of soil erosion to agricultural sector activity is around € 295 million and the final GDP loss is € 155 million annually. The direct cost is 4 times higher than the indirect loss in the agricultural sector and 8 times higher than the GDP loss.

Soil erosion has both on-site and off-site effects. Loss of soil productivity is the main on-site effect, while enhanced productivity of downstream land, sedimentation and eutrophication of waterways and reservoirs are common off-site effects.Estimations of soil erosion costs are therefore difficult and complex because the on-site effects are often compensated by the use of increased amounts

The REAL Cost of Soil Erosion | NRCS Nebraska
The ‘real’ cost of soil erosion goes beyond just the cost of lost fertilizer. The additional costs associated with soil erosion include loss in crop production; loss of land value from long-term excessive erosion; damage to real property, roads, bridges and other infrastructure; and environmental damages to streams, rivers and lakes.

Soil erosion generates on‐site costs that directly affect farming land. These costs are paid by farmers, through loss of fertile land. The on‐site costs are mainly the value of future lost production due to the decline in soil resources. These include losses in production, yields, and nutrients, damage to plantations, and reduction of the available planting area.

The agricultural plants that often replace the trees cannot hold onto the soil and many of these plants, such as coffee, cotton, palm oil, soybean and wheat, can actually worsen soil erosion. And as land loses its fertile soil, agricultural producers move on, clear more forest and continue the cycle of soil loss.

Dry bean production is relatively expensive compared to other crops due to high labor, equipment, and fuel costs. A typical dry bean grower may use five to nine field operations over each acre of dry beans.
