“…In terms of production, two other variables are significant, the Baixo Corgo sub-region (positively) and Port wine (negatively). The results are in accordance with the work of Galindro et al (2018) and with the information collected by the surveys on production and yields obtained, since the Baixo Corgo is the wettest region allowing higher productivity unlike the Douro Superior.…”

“…This result is in line with Galindro et al (2018) for Baixo Corgo, where the authors reveal that medium-sized farmers’ vineyards display higher marginal increment, but it is opposite on Douro Superior and Cima Corgo since they show increasing returns to scale until 20 hectares. In fact, the productivity can vary across these sub-regions.…”

“…They were selected from the literature and according to the specific characteristics of the sector in the region. The vineyard area was chosen in Sellers-Rubio and Más-Ruiz (2015), Santos et al (2018) and Urso et al (2018) and it is a critical variable for the farmers’ vineyards performance of Douro as stated by Galindro et al (2018). The production systems (training system and vineyard landscaping) was tested according to Moreira et al (2011) and Santos et al (2018) and the age of the farmer also by Santos et al (2018) and in the study of Urso et al (2018).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to estimate and analyse the technical efficiency (TE) component of productivity for a sample of winegrowers from the Douro Demarcated Region in Portugal. Design/methodology/approach The data were collected through face-to-face surveys and includes a sample of 110 farmers’ vineyards with specific input-output information and other data about production systems during the year of 2017. The authors use a two-stage data envelopment analysis using bootstrap techniques to obtain TE scores in the farmers’ vineyards and to examine the determinants of its efficiency. Findings The results show that some farmers’ vineyards have a low efficiency level and that there are essential determinants of the production system, which can influence its efficiency. This suggests considerable opportunities for improvement of wine grape productivity through better use of available resources considering the state of technology. Originality/value This work has overcome the lack of data in the farmers’ vineyards, the lack of efficiency studies in the region and also allowed to evaluate the production systems and to assess their impact on efficiency.

“…It is worth noting that farms cultivating grapevines are influenced by these exogenous factors and the work efficiency in them is also conditioned on them. As shown by Galindro et al (2018) or Goncharuk and Sellers-Rubio (2018) in the shaping of work productivity in wine farms the remuneration offered in other sectors of the economy plays a significant role.…”

In the European Union, one of the industries which is of great economic and market importance and accordingly is to a large extent dependent on quantity and quality of labour resources is viticulture and wine production. The main objective of the research was to determine the productivity of work in wine farms in selected EU countries in the years 2004-2017. It was found that there was an increase in labour productivity in wine farms in almost all countries selected for research. The largest increase was recorded for Czech, Portuguese and Bulgarian farms. Nevertheless, the highest productivity of work was characteristic for French, German, Austrian and Italian farms. Additionally together with the increase in the economic size of wine farms, the productivity of work increased too.

“…Em geral, a produtividade das explorações melhora com áreas maiores em razão dos crescentes retornos de escala (Sellers & Alampi-Sottini, 2016). Para caracterizar a produtividade em função da área das explorações (Equação 1), foram usados os valores de produtividade por classe de área apresentados em Galindro et al (2018b)…”

Resumo: Em Portugal, a disponibilidade de mão de obra tem-se revelado um fator-chave para a viticultura de montanha. Estatísticas mais recentes denotam valores preocupantes que poderão colocar em causa a produção de vinho de qualidade e o atraente conjunto de paisagens vitivinícolas consideradas um recurso potencial para o desenvolvimento do turismo. Por a região duriense ser uma das principais regiões vitivinícolas portuguesas, caracterizada por proeminente e acentuada viticultura de montanha, pretende-se, neste trabalho, simular o comportamento das suas explorações perante alterações do preço de mão de obra, recorrendo-se a modelos baseados em agentes (ABM). Foi ainda usado o software MATLAB para obter funções periódicas ajustadas aos dados caracterizadores das variáveis consideradas pertinentes, obtidas de inquéritos presenciais a 110 explorações e atendendo aos dados disponibilizados pela Rede de Informação de Contabilidades Agrícolas (RICA). Posteriormente, o software ABM (NETLOGO) foi selecionado para simular os próximos 100 anos, familiarizando a dinâmica real baseada nos dados anteriormente considerados. Dependendo do preço da mão de obra, no final do horizonte de simulação, com o preço da uva a 0,77€ /kg, das 300 explorações existentes inicialmente, sobrevivem entre 127 e 231 (42,3% a 77%). Num cenário mais otimista, com o preço da uva a 1,17 €/kg, a taxa de sobrevivência oscila entre 72,1% e 93,2%.
