Abstract

[fre] Le but de cet article est de suggérer une analyse économique de la situation de notre agriculture, et par là de souligner les limites du « Plan Mansholt ». Les principaux défauts de ce Plan sont : . 1) L'ignorance du principe du coût d'opportunité qui conduit les auteurs à des calculs arbitraires de la taille des unités de production et à une sous-estimation de l'influence des conditions économiques sur l'agriculture. . 2) Une mauvaise appréhension des forces qui entraînent la croissance de l'offre agricole et par suite l'accumulation de surplus. [eng] The purpose of the article is to suggest an economic analysis of the situation of our agriculture and thus to emphasize the limits of the Mansholt Plan. The main faults are : 1) The ignorance of the opportunity cost principle which lead the authors to arbitrary computations of sizes of production units and to an underestimation of the impact of general economic conditions on agriculture. . 2) An inadequate appraisal of the forces leading to the growth of agricultural supply and as a recuit to agricultural surpluses.
