Une justification par les comptes de surplus des subventions à l'agriculture

Michel Bourdon

Économie rurale, 1982, vol. 149

Abstract: As farm incomes go inexorably down, farmers demand readjustments but refuse to be regarded as living on welfare. The contribution they demand from the State is actually only a compensation for what has unduly been perceived by farm supplying and marketing firms. Far from being charity, the subsidies represent merely a restitution of gains largely deserved for a highly productive performance. In spite of the recession, the technical and economic potentialities of agriculture do not at all seem exhausted contrary to current opinions on the subject. This argumentation is not based on some neo-agrarian theory, but on the aggregated results of surplus accounts disposed so as to show the mecanism of spoiliation and restitution which has been operating during the 1974-80 period.
