Abstract

[eng] The distribution of food expenses between farming and the fertilizer and processing industries — Belgium 1959-1975 - This research is aimed at showing the development during the period 1959-1975 of share of the Belgium consumer's food expenses that went to farmers in return for their work and capital. . This analysis shows that during the period studied the fraction of the consumer's food expenses received by the farmer had regularly declined following the increasing inclusion of ever more expensive services in the price of the basic agricultural product. Moreover the farmers' expenses in raw materials and input have constantly increased which has led to even greater variability in the farmers' income. . The synthesis of the results obtained shows that at present only 9 % of what the consumer pays for food actually goes to the farmer in exchange for his labour, a reduction by half over less than twenty years. [fre] Cette recherche vise à montrer l'évolution au cours de la période 1959-1975, de la part des dépenses alimentaires du consommateur belge, dévolue aux agriculteurs en rémunération de leur travaiil et de leur capital. . L'analyse révèle qu'au cours de la période étudiée, la fraction des dépenses alimentaires du consommateur reçue par l'agriculteur, s'est réduite de manière permanente à la suite de d'incorporation croissante de services toujours plus chers à la denrée agricole de base. Par ailleurs, la part des recettes des agriculteurs affectée à l'acquisition des matières premières et des moyens de production n'a cessé de croître, ce qui entraîne une variabilité de plus en plus forte du revenu des agriculteurs. . La synthèse des résultats obtenus montre qu'à l'heure actuelle, la rémunération du travail des agriculteurs ne constitue plus que 9 % des dépenses alimentaires du consommateur, ce qui représente une réduction de moitié en moins de deux décennies.
