Abstract

En este trabajo, y a partir de la informacion suministrada por la Red Contable Agraria, se ha tratado de produndizar en el conocimiento del sector vacuno de carne en Espana en el ano 1999. Se han estimado funciones de producticcion frontera ya las correspondientes medidas de eficiencia tecnica. Tambien se han calculado los costes de produccion y su participacion en el valor de la produccion. Los resultados obtenidos indican que existe cierto grado de ineficiencia tecnica en el sector. Ademas, la edad del ganagero, el tamano de la explotacion, el nivel de endeudamiento ya la dependencia de las subvenciones, entre otros aspectos, afectan al nivel de ediciencia de las explotaciones. En relacion a los costes pagados por las explotaciones, el componente mas importante es el que incluye los costes especificos ganaderos. Si tenemos en cuenta los costes de oportunidad de los factores propios, los costes de mano de obra pasan a ser los mas cuantiosos. Finalmente, la comparacion entre costes e indica que la mayoria de los ganaderos son capaces de hacer frente a los costes pagados, pero no a los costes totales. Las subvenciones juegan un papel importante, ya que permiten que un porcentaje relevante de explotaciones pueda remunerar los factores utilizados... The aim of this paper is to gain a deeper perspective of the Spanish beef sector in 1999, using data supplied by the Farm Agricultural Data Network. This involves the estimation of frontier productions and the corresponding technical efficiency measures. Production costs and their participation on the production value are also calculated. The results reveal some degree of technical inefficiency in the sector. The factors that are shown to play a role in determining farm efficiency levels are age of farmer, size of farm, amount of debt and dependence on subsidies, among others. The main component in the farm's paid costs is the part that corresponds specifically to stock farming. When the opportunity cost of the farmer's own factors is taken into account, the highest cost becomes labour costs. Finally, the comparison of costs and revenue shows that most farmers are able to handle paid costs, but not total costs. Subsidies play an important role, since they are the means by which large proportion of enterprises manages to pay for the factors used.
