“…This finding is in line with the much weaker price volatility recently reported for the lamb Cordero de Navarra in the PGI vs. non-PGI system for the period 2011 to 2018 [17]. Furthermore, these data are in agreement with previous results showing that the PGI product is better able to stand up to consumer confidence crises [43]. In this sense, a designation of origin (DO) linked to milk or cheese had a positive influence on prices paid to producers, as reported in Manchego sheep flocks [12].…”

Official milk prices in the Spanish small ruminant sector were used for 5 years (2015–2019) to analyze the effect caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis in 2020. Meat price fluctuations were also studied using the weekly prices officially provided by some of the main agrarian markets of the country (n = 6) in 2019 and 2020. Moreover, the sales and prices of three protected geographical indications (PGI) of lamb meat served to study the marketability when the products are sold or not under these quality labels in a crisis context. According to Spanish Government’s official communications, 2020 was divided in three periods of study (pre-COVID-19, total confinement and post-confinement). The evolution of employment in this subsector in 2020, as a direct consequence of this crisis, was also analyzed considering data provided by producers. Results showed an intra-annual seasonal effect for milk prices in 2020 for both livestock species, as observed in previous years. However, a negative economic impact on goat milk prices due to the pandemic was checked during the confinement and post-confinement months. Sheep milk prices remained stable. Lamb and goat kid meat prices showed a similar trend in comparison with 2019 during the pre-COVID-19 period. The total confinement period recorded a short interval of 1–2 weeks in which the prices declined, before the suspension of quotations in many markets. In contrast, once confinement was completed, meat prices for both ruminant species rapidly reached levels that existed before the coronavirus crisis. Overall data suggested the protective effect of the PGI marks on lamb meat. Lambs with a PGI had better 2020 prices than non-PGI lambs (+8%), regardless of the period analyzed. Moreover, with fewer lambs sold in 2020, there was a relevant drop in sales of non-PGI lambs vs. PGI (−19% vs. −2%) during the first 7 months. Finally, there was little or no readjustment of the workforce in the small ruminant flocks.

The rural areas are a place of living and work of much of the society and agricultural production is essential for the Polish national economy. The aim of this paper has been to determine the prospects for the development of agricultural family farms. With that in mind, an important aspect has been to diagnose the opinions of the farmers on the key sources of income, benefiting from the CAP support, the recent investment projects completed, opinions on changes in the operation of agriculture after the integration with the EU, its impact on the development potential of the farms under study as well as plans for the farms. The research material was acquired from the surveys made in 2018 which included 60 respondents residing in the Zlawies Wielka commune. The survey research has demonstrated that a great majority of the respondents were living mostly from agricultural production, only some used other support than direct payments. Less than half of the respondents were making efforts to develop their farms through the investments made over the recent years. The farmers planned handing over the farm to their successors or continuing the work themselves.

“…This is probably a further consequence of the different strategies adopted by the two groups. The profit to be made from the higher prices commanded by PGI meat (Bardaji et al, 2009) encourage certified farms to increase their output and, consequently, improve their scale efficiency performance (similar strategic behaviour differences were reported in Dimara et al, 2005). Table 3 shows the estimated Tobit models, which include only those variables that prove statistically significant in at least one of the estimated functions.…”

Do ‘Protected Geographical Indications’ (PGI)-Certified Farms Perform Better?

European rural development policy is gaining in importance through one of its key instruments, the Protected Geographical Indications (PGI) system, which is designed to improve quality standards. Previous research has shown that PGI-certified beef farms tend to be more extensively managed operations that are better adapted to mountainous areas. This paper describes a comparative study of two production systems, one with PGI certification and one without, focusing on a number of economic variables. The results show a positive association between PGI production and profitability. In efficiency terms, non-certified farms show better pure technical efficiency scores, while PGI-certified holdings score higher on scale efficiency.
