L'organisation de la production et des marchés, et le revenu des producteurs de porcs

Bernard Thareau

Économie rurale, 1971, vol. 90

Abstract: The improvement of breeding techniques, the production rationalization and the organization of the production by producers' associations are not enough to increase the income of pig breeders. The cyclic price variations, the development of powerful firms, both for farm supply and processing, in a liberally oriented Common Market make the profit margin per pig fall regularily : the French breeder, in order to maintain the same income as ten years ago has to double his production. Consequently, the breeders do not benefit from the productivity effort they are producing. Although the development of producers' associations gives some hope for the future they are not sufficient alone. The breeders realize that they have to go a step further : an aggregate organization of the meat market. This is essential in order to obtain a minimum of security as for the income, but the realization is difficult.
