Abstract

La Produccion Integrada (PI) es un Sistema de Calidad Certificada (SCC) que garantiza la implementacion de practicas agrarias que maximizan el uso de los recursos y los mecanismos de produccion y una agricultura sostenible a largo plazo y que puede generar una ventaja competitiva para los agricultores. En este articulo se analiza el nivel de conocimiento y adopcion de un amplio abanuico de SCC en olivar y se identifican los factores, relativos a las caracteristicas de agricultores y sus explotaciones, que han condicionado la adopcion de la PI en el olivar andaluz, el SCC mas difundido. Para ello, se llevo a cabo una encuesta a 400 agricultores de las principales zonas olivareras de Andalucia en 2010/2011. Los resultados indican bajos niveles de conocimiento/adopcion de los SCC, la importancia del 'contagio' de informacion entre olivicultores y con redes profesionales, y la necesidad del sector de mayor profesionalizacion, rejuvenecimiento, formacion y orientacion a los mercados y la proteccion ambiental. Integrated Production (IP) is a Certified Quality System (CQS) that guarantees the implementation of agricultural practices that maximize the use of resources and production mechanisms and long-term sustainable agriculture and can generate a competitive advantage for farmers. This article analyses the knowledge and adoption levels of a wide range of CQS in olive growing and identifies factors related to the characteristics of farmers and their farms, which have conditioned the adoption in Andalusian olive of IP, the most widespread CQS. For this purpose, a survey of 400 farmers in the main olive-growing areas of Andalusia was conducted in 2010/2011. The results indicate low levels of knowledge/adoption of CQS, the importance of the 'contagion' of information among olive growers and professional networks, and the need in the sector for more professionalization, rejuvenation, training and targeting to markets and environmental protection.
