Abstract

The word ‘crisis’ is frequently used in relation to Spanish agriculture; indeed, it has been used constantly to describe the situation since the end of the Civil War (1936–39). In the first place, because of the primary sector’s inability to achieve pre-Civil War levels of production, a situation which resulted in an insufficient supply of food and consequent rationing. Since the beginning of the 1950s, the term has referred to the problems accompanying the transformation of traditional agriculture into modern productive units. At the present time, the ‘crisis’ is felt in some subsectors of the food industry, in relation to Spanish membership of the EEC. In fact, Spanish agriculture has already survived more than fifty years of permanent ‘crisis’. Clearly, it is important to examine more precisely what is meant by the expression and the circumstances that surround each concrete manifestation of the ‘crisis’.
