Abstract: RESUMEN Este trabajo presenta los resultados derivados de un estudio sobre eficiencia y productividad del agua en la horticultura intensiva litoral del sureste español. Tras la caracterización de esta actividad productiva, se analizan 230 encuestas directas a horticultores y 50 entrevistas a técnicos agrarios realizadas en la campaña 2004/2005, calculando la productividad aparente y los precios de nivelación y cierre para los cultivos más característicos. Seguidamente se estima la disposición al pago por el agua de los horticultores, la cual muestra una relación positiva con los niveles de eficiencia técnica previamente estimados para este sistema productivo. ABSTRACT This work presents some results derived from a study on efficiency and productivity of the water in the coastal intensive horticulture of the Spanish South-eastern. After the characterization of this productive activity, 230 direct surveys to horticulture's farmers and 50 interviews to agrarian technicians (made in campaign 2004/05) are analyzed, measuring the productivity and the levelling-prices and stop-price of water for the most characteristic productions. The paper finally analyzes the "willigness to pay" by the water revealed by the farmers, which shows a positive relation with the levels of technical efficiency at this productive system.
