Abstract

[fre] La pomme de terre occupe une faible part en valeur dans l'agriculture et l'alimentation, mais l'instabilité des prix de cette production, sa nature de denrée de base, justifient une analyse économique plus approfondie. . L'étude présente s'attache à préciser l'explication des variations de superficies des diverses catégories de pomme de terre : plant, primeur, conservation, féculière. L'effet des prix des facteurs et des substituts (maïs, légumes) sont analysés ainsi que les relations entre les catégories de pomme de terre du point de vue de l'offre. Les élasticités trouvées sont faibles comme on peut s'y attendre : elles sont plus élevées à long terme pour le plant et la féculière que pour la primeur et la conservation. Ce dernier groupe présente un caractère plus spéculatif que le premier qui semble nettement plus déterminé par les structures de production. [eng] Potato supplies in France 1950-1973 - In value, potatoes count for little in farming and food, but their price fluctuation and the fact that they are a basic commodity justify a more thorough economic analysis. . The present study attempts to provide an explanation for the variation in area of the different categories of potatoes - seed potatoes, new potatoes, potatoes for canning and for industrial starch production. The influence of the cost of input and of substitutes (maize, vegetables) and the relationship between the various categories of potatoes from the point of view of supply are analysed. The elasticity is small, as one might expect : it is greater in the long term for seed potatoes and starch production than for new and processed potatoes. The latter group presents a more speculative character than the former which shows a distinct tendancy to depend on production structures.
