Abstract

[fre] Dans cet article, on cherche à déterminer le niveau d'endettement maximal qu'une exploitation agricole peut supporter sans mettre en cause sa pérennité. L'influence de la dimension économique et des résultats, celles de la phase d'accumulation et de l'orientation de production sont testées. L'analyse est menée sur la base des données du RICA pour 1982 et 1983. La charge d'endettement supportable est assez faible : elle croît avec la taille. Pour les petites et moyennes exploitations (moins de 350 000 francs de ventes) le taux d'endettement ne doit pas dépasser 25 %. Pour les plus grandes (plus de 750 000 francs de ventes), il peut aller jusqu'à 50 %. Ces résultats semblent valables quelle que soit l'orientation de production ou la phase d'accumulation de l'exploitation. [eng] Level of maximum debt for french farms - In this paper we diseuse the question of the maximum debt burden that farms can bear without failing into financial stress. II this respect weights of such variables as size, economic results, type of production, kind of growth are tested. Farm Accountancy Data Network (1982 and 1983) is used for empirical analysis. As results, we find a rather low maximum debt burden ; it is growing with size. The debt/asset ratio should not be larger than 25 % for small and medium-size farms (sales less than 350 000 francs) and than 50 % for biggest ones (sales over 750 000 francs). Kind of growth or type of production do not influence these results.
