Abstract

[eng] Productivity and competitiveness in the italian agro-food industry During the last decade the Italian food industry has been characterized by a relative stability in terms of productivity and employment. The high performance is partly justified by the typical anti-cyclical charasteristics of the sector, which are bound to the stability of food consumption. Together whith the past, the agro-food sector has shown a quite innovative dynamic trend whithin itself, in connection whith an intense restructuring activity. The increase in production capacity has not been coupled with an increase in the overall plant size. Investments and innovative activities have been connected with a process of external development by means of acquisitions and merger. The dynamic features of the sector and its strategic importance whithin the Italian economy, have attracted foreign firms, thus anticipating the acievement of the Internal Market due by 1992. [fre] L'industrie alimentaire italienne a été caractérisée dans la dernière décennie par une relative stabilité en termes de production et d'emploi. Ces bons résultats sont en partie justifiés par les traditionnelles caractéristiques anticycliques du secteur, liées à la stabilité des consommations alimentaires. A côté des facteurs de continuité avec le passé, le secteur fait preuve d'une dynamique interne certainement innovante, et cela donne lieu à d'intensifs processus de restructuration. L'accroissement de la capacité de production n'a pas été lié à une augmentation totale de la dimension des installations. Les investissements et les processus d'innovation ont été correlés à un fort processus de croissance externe à travers les acquisitions et les fusions. La dynamique du secteur et son importance stratégique dans le cadre du système agro-alimentaire italien a attiré l'intérêt des entreprises étrangères, en devançant en partie la réalisation du marché unique en 1992.
