Trade, Exchange Rates, and Agricultural Pricing Policy in Portugal

Francisco Avillez

4.9/5 (30260 ratings)

Description:Agricultural policy in Portugal, like the industry itself, has had a strongly regional flavor. Most of the government's support for agriculture until the mid-1960s was given to the latifundia areas of southern Portugal, principally through high wheat prices. In turn, the large landowners of the South supported the Salazar regime. By the late 1960s the government's emphasis had shifted to the small-farm areas of the North, with programs to encourage milk production, and to the central valleys, where tomato processing and livestock feeding were stimulated. Meanwhile, cereal prices remained highly protected. The 1974 Revolution, coinciding with a period of rapid inflation in Portugal and high international commodity prices, changed the orientation of farm policies. For most of the 1970s the emphasis was on cheap food for the urban workers, and considerable sums of money were spent on consumer subsidies. The need to control government spending and a desire to stimulate production led to a return in the early 1980s to higher producer prices and the removal of consumer subsidies. The higher producer prices for cereals are now being reduced as a part of the transitional arrangements following the accession of Portugal to the European Community in 1986. This study shows that economy-wide policies had a small impact on agricultural incentives compared to sector-specific policies during the period analyzed.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
