L'agriculture, pétrole vert de la France ?

F. de Ravignan

Économie rurale, 1980, vol. 139

Abstract: In the government lobbies they pretend to make from french agriculture the "green oil" of the Nation ; they want the agro-exports to pay an increasing share of the energetic imports. But for ten years, this share has been decreasing, and the balance of agro-exchange hasn't grown as much as they were expecting. The trend in export of our agriculture induces a specialization with direct or indirect consequences on increasing imports of food products. Increasing the added-value of export products or trying to conquer new export markets can have just a limited effect. The reconquest of the national market, about which they begin to talk, is an other way, quite opposite to the expansion on foreign markets, and that suggests other fundamental choices of economic policies.
