Abstract
El objectivo de este trabajo es estimar la eficiencia tecnica de la produccion de vacuno carne en la comarca de los Pedroches (Cordoba), donde la dehesa es el sistema extensivo caracteristico de produccion. El analisis de los factores que afectan a la eficiencia productiva permite tambien observar si las explotaciones integradas en una cooperativa para el cebo y comercializacion bajo marca de calidad existente en la zona (Covap) son mas eficientes. la metodologia utilizada consiste en la estimacion de una funcion frontera no parametrica DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis), a partir de los datos procedentes de una encuesta realizada en 2002 a 50 ganaderos de la zona. Los resultados muestran que las explotaciones que combinan de forma mas eficiente sus recursos son explotaciones mas intensivas (en carga ganadera y mecanizacion), que crian y tambien engordan los terneros, con una menor proporciond e subvenciones en los ingresos derivados del vacuno, y cuyos titulares son personas de menor edad y mayor formacion. Por otro lado, no se econtraron diferencias significativas en la eficiencia entre explotaciones de cria integradas y no integradas...The purpose of the paper is to estimate the technical efficiency in cattle farms of the region of Pedroches, in the north of the province of Cordoba where the dehesa is the normal extensive production system. The analysis of the causes of the efficiency allows us to demonstrate if the breeding farms which are integrated in a feeding and marketing co-operative which sells the meat with a quality label are more efficient. The used methodology consists of the estimation of a non parametric frontier function DEA from a survey of 50 cattle farms made in that region in 2002. The results show that the farms that arrange a more efficiency level are more intensive (livestock density and mechanization), that breed but also feed the calves, have less subsidies in their incomes, and their farmers are younger and have higher education. In other way, significant efficiency differences were not found between integrated beef farms and not integrated.
