Abstract

[fre] Les indicateurs de revenu des agriculteurs dont on dispose pour élaborer une politique agricole ne sont pas légion. Dans la pratique, seul l'indicateur retenu par le Ve Plan : le revenu brut d'exploitation par exploitant, est largement utilisé. . Cette lacune tient pour une large part à la complexité même du revenu agricole sur le plan conceptuel et à l'hétérogénéité de l'univers des exploitations françaises. . L'utilisation des informations disponibles soulève quelques problèmes : . * le revenu d'exploitation doit assurer à la fois la subsistance du ménage et celle de l'exploitation ; . * le revenu d'exploitation est à partager entre l'exploitant et les aides familiaux ; . * les indicateurs macro-économiques de la comptabilité nationale ne permettent pas de décrire la diversité de la situation des exploitations ; . * les indicateurs micro-économiques fournis par le réseau d'observation comptable européen ne permettent pas à l'heure actuelle de décrire les « marginaux » de l'agriculture, pas plus qu'ils ne rendent compte du « profil » du développement des exploitations ; . * qualité et rapidité sont indispensables pour qu'un indicateur de revenu soit opérationnel. [eng] Using farm income indicators - Very few indicators of farmers' income are available to those who have to elaborate any agricultural policy. The only one admitted by French Vth Plan and commonly used is gross income per farmer. . As a matter of fact, the elements still involved in the very notion of Agricultural incomes are very complex and so is equally complex the universe of French farming. . Here are suggested some problems such information underlines : . — farm income is supposed to enable the farmer and his family to live and the farming itself to go on ; . — this income is meant to be shared between the farmer himself and his family workers ; . — National account macro-economic indicators do not display the variousness in farming ; . — European accounting sample micro-economic indicators do not include « the marginal farmers » and ignore, too, « the development line » of every farm ; . — quality and rapidity are both necessary to make any indicator useful.
