Abstract: The present article proposes a conceptual model to determine the dynamic capabilities that can realistically be developed by family farm run businesses. Using a pilot sample of ex-Sugar Beet Farmers of the West Midland region of the UK it was found that these agents have fewer opportunities to develop these capabilities than firms belonging to other industries. In addition, it was found that exiting market barriers prevent these farmers from using the available sources of dynamic capabilities. As a result, it is concluded that family farm businesses are not prepared to maintain their competitive position in response to future policy reforms.
