Abstract

[eng] During the last decades, industrial production means have been subject to important price increases which have not been proportionnally transmitted to the producer prices of farm products. In an economic situation characterized by lower farm incomes and increased unemployment the farmers using these production means rather than man-power are still economically more competitive. . In spite of a slowdown since 1975, the rural outmigration continues and there is a preference for increased machine power to compensate the decreased amount of certain industrial inputs such as implements. The overall trend to substitute machines for man-power is slowed down but not reversed. . the comparison on a national level of accounts from different categories of farms shows that there is still a strong correlation between the economic size of the farm, the amount of production means per worker and the income of the farm family. For all farm categories there is a fall in the amount of man-power and a rise in the amount of production means at their disposal. . Consequently, it is very doubtful whether more man-power using production systems could be developped in the present economic system. [fre] Les moyens de travail agricole d'origine industrielle ont subi dans la dernière décennie des hausses de prix qui ne se sont absolument pas répercutées en proportion sur les prix agricoles à la production. Dans un contexte économique marqué par la baisse du revenu des agriculteurs et l'extension du chômage, les exploitations qui utilisent le plus ces moyens de travail relativement aux effectifs de travailleurs engagés demeurent pourtant les mieux placées dans la compétition économique. . Malgré un certain ralentissement depuis 1975, l'exode rural se poursuit et les diminutions d'achats par les agriculteurs de certains produits industriels comme le matériel par exemple, sont en partie compensées, du point de vue de la productivité du travail, par l'accroissement de puissance des machines. La tendance globale à la substitution des moyens de travail à la main-d'œuvre est ralentie, mais non inversée. . L'analyse comparée par catégories économiques d'exploitations des résultats nationaux 1970 et 1978 du Réseau d'Information Comptable Agricole montre le maintien d'une forte corrélation entre la dimension économique des exploitations, les moyens de travail engagés par travailleur et le revenu du travail familial. Pour toutes les catégories d'exploitations, on constate une diminution des effectifs de travailleurs et un accroissement des moyens de travail à leur disposition. . Dans le système économique actuel, on peut sérieusement douter des chances de développement de systèmes de production employant davantage de travailleurs relativement aux moyens de travail mis en œuvre pour des productions de même nature.
