Abstract
In spite of different economic agents’
interests, as well as the Administration’s effort in
promoting extensive beef-producing systems over the
last years, this kind of activity still hasn’t reached the
desirable levels, being necessary that farmers perceive
an appropriate benefit which supports their activity. In
this sense, this paper, using the data obtained by a
statistical survey representing all the extensive beef-producing
farms existing in Castile and Leon (Spain),
aims to analyze the economical results of extensive beef-producing
farms, previously classified in representative
groups according a quantitative method. The study is a
preliminary research which intends to generate
additional knowledge about the role of the different
variables which make part of the economic results, and
takes part of a research project financed by Castile and
Leon Regional Governments, Education and Culture
Council, through the annual program to support
research projects (Order EDU/1143/2004).
