Abstract
[fre] Les prix agricoles, comparés à l'ensemble des prix, baissent depuis plus de trente ans grâce à une efficacité croissante de l'agriculture qui a permis une diminution des coûts de production. En l'absence de réglementation, les prix résultent des déséquilibres entre l'offre et la demande. Ils fluctuent fortement pour la pomme de terre et régulièrement pour le porc. . La Politique Agricole Commune a permis de maintenir pendant longtemps des prix élevés et stables pour les principaux produits, ce qui a entraîné un accroissement continu de la production. Face à la montée des excédents, la Politique Agricole Commune a dû être réformée : baisse drastique du prix du blé ou fixation autoritaire de la production de lait. [eng] Farm Prices : A Long Term Drop with Wide Fluctuations - Compared to general prices, farm prices have been dropping for more than thirty years, due to increasing efficiency in agriculture which has made it possible for production costs to decline. In the absence of regulations, prices result form the imbalance between supply and demand. They fluctuate widely for potatoes and regularly for pork. . For a long time, the common agricultural policy made it possible to maintain high, stable prices for staple products, which resulted in a steadily rising output. When faced by the surge of surplus, the common agricultural policy had to be reformed: this entailed, for instance, a drastic drop in the price of wheat and imposed a limit on milk production. [spa] Precios agrícolas: baja a largo plazo, registrándose, no obstante, fluctuaciones importantes - Los precios agrícolas, comparados al conjunto de los precios, bajan desde hace más de treinta años debido a una creciente eficacidad de la agricultura que permitió una disminución de los costes de produción. Dada la ausencia de una reglamentación determinada, los precios son la resultante de desequilibrios entre la oferta y la demanda. Se registra una fuerte fluctuaciôn de los mismos para la patata y otra regular para el cerdo. . La política agrícola común permitió mantener durante mucho tiempo precios elevados y estables para los principales productos, lo que acarreó un contínuo acrecentamiento de la producción. Frente al aumento de los excedentes, fue preciso reformar la política agrícola común, tal situación trajo como consecuencia la disminución drástica del precio del trigo o la fijación autoritaria de los cupos de producción de leche.
