There is no dearth of centres Agricultural Research The sector will provide the required technology, the quantity and quality of which is increasing day by day. They are missing Public and Private Training Centres It facilitates the use of research and contract farming technology. Day by day their number is increasing, their volume is increasing and, above all, the teaching methods are improving, which results in the quality of their influences.
They are missing media Management of agricultural lands to improve known, experienced and appropriate technology and agricultural management. The traditional media (press, radio and television) have improved their coverage of agriculture and in recent years many special magazines have appeared whose contents provide detailed information on what to do to improve crops and manage agribusinesses.
They are missing Technical, management and agricultural field books A provider of extensive experience in everything from technology requirements, strategic positioning of business and commodities to be cultivated, fundamentals of management applied to rural areas, as well as value contribution to the rural world.
Banks, day by day, are increasing their involvement in the agricultural world and money is returning to rural areas. Yes, it can be confirmed that the financial world has returned to the agricultural market it abandoned in the seventies. Yes, he gave it up to migrate to other businesses with higher capital gains, industries and services. Today they are back in force, and we can see a much bigger source with the constant buying and selling of agricultural businesses. This type of activity has never been seen before in the agricultural world.
In Europe Day by day consumption of fruits and vegetables increases in quantity and quality. Its impact on the shopping cart is increasing day by day, improving its position in the rankings. The market for agricultural products is increasing both in quantity and quality of its contents. Also, consumers buy all kinds of products, both conventional and fresh and sophisticated fruits and vegetables that offer high growth potential.
Population growth
World population growth and Improving Third World Incomes, They say that food consumption will double in the next twenty-five years, which means more agricultural products will have to be produced. And many more. And all this shows that we are in a rising market, with a significant expected growth rate.
Financiers return because they know what they are doing, they are not fools, they are not patrons, they influence the most sensitive markets, with high rates of return, sustainable profits and great growth prospects. Money goes where there is money. That is why they focus on agriculture.
Spanish and European business distribution is transparent, agile and a medial margin Small. Never before has there been so little difference between the price at which the farmer sells his produce and the price paid by the consumer. Never since the beginning of time has intermediate cost been as low as the consumer experiences today. not at all. The problem is that we don't remember what the median margin was 25 or 50 years ago. Too old, too much. Using the intermediate margin in the Spanish agricultural market in 1950, consumers would have to pay no less than 15 euros per kilo of tomatoes.
Along with this, the current price of “The Mercadona“Agricultural commodities are fair, but I assure you that the operating margin is low and expectations will be reduced or at least maintained. This inevitably benefits the consumer and the farm worker.
Role of commercial distribution
Spanish and European commercial distribution facilitates the sale of agricultural products. It does not diminish it, or foster a monopoly, when some try to express it, but rather it improves the sales ability of the professional producer, because he not only gets his products, but above all, he has a direct interlocutor to guide him. Provides quantity and quality of your crops, safety, regulation and purchase volume. Those agricultural producers who understand the needs of this type of business are improving their farms and results day by day.
As they are improving on almost all the objective parameters by which a sector should be measured, we are facing increasing agribusiness. However, the social outlook indicates that we are in the worst crisis in agriculture. How is it possible that under the same conditions, in the same market and with the same consumers, some people say that the world of agriculture is bad, while others build their agricultural enterprises and improve their operating accounts?
The answer lies in the circumstances of each actor, not in the market, because the world changes, the environment evolves and humans (and businesses) must adapt to their assumptions, because change is so merciless that it doesn't even change “anything”. “Change”, for those who do not want to do so, those who do not move, kill them or, on the contrary, commit suicide, because they and only them die of starvation. No one can resist the changes in the world It awaits us because the opposition to its postulates is proportionate to the fraud it causes. Cars exist, but not for the transportation of goods or people, but as luxury or party items.
Saving water
Did farmers know that agricultural blankets applied to crop soil reduce crop yields by more than a third? Water requirements Irrigation? Organizations that facilitate innovation have done their work, they have researched progress and provided broad advocacy. However, many farmers located in areas with low water capacity continue to not use the new value contribution, which leads to consumption of agricultural water that they do not have or very high costs due to the poor cost of agricultural inputs.
The answer to the previous question lies in the street, in quality Our traditional farmers:
1) having an unacceptable average age for any sector due to limited generational change;
2) they manage small stacks, as many of their colleagues are already doing, and the best option is to abandon them;
3) Agriculture is a supplement to their income because they derive their family income from other activities, i.e. they are non-agricultural;
4) There are private and public institutions in the agricultural sector that do not tell farmers to solve agricultural problems by themselves, or by communicating with others, but by the government or Department of AgricultureNot even Council On duty, or not European union… Because this is not its function. It is done in all sectors and agriculture.
