Prix et coûts de production en agriculture

Abstract

[fre] En agriculture, du fait des particularités de ce secteur, les rendements sont pratiquement constants, et l'entrepreneur ne dispose pratiquement d'aucun pouvoir de monopole. La théorie économique classique montre que, dans de telles conditions, le prix doit être égal au coût de production, les seuls écarts possibles venant, soit de l'existence de primes de risque, soit du fait que les prix attribués aux facteurs fixes sont différents de leur coût d'opportunité. [eng] Because of the specificities of agriculture, agricultural production functions are basically homogenous and of degree 1, i.e., with constant returns to scale. Under such conditions, the neoclassical economic theory shows that, under competition, and in the absence of monopoly power, prices should equate production costs. The only possible departures from this arise because of risk (in which case, profits are derived from riskpremia) or because fixed factors are not valued at their opportunity cost.
