| Abstract | Since the mid 20 century a structural adjustment in agriculture has taken place which accelerated with Spain entering the European Union given the drastic disappearance and concentration of its agricultural uses, as well as a marked improvement of its Gross Margin generated per hectare of the agricultural surface area used ASAU. Nonetheless, Spanish agriculture is still dogged by a notable structural backwardness, which is reflected in the low economic dimension of its agricultural uses. Therefore in the year 2005, the majority of agricultural uses were undertaken on less than 5 ha (52.7%), and those of more than 100 ha represent only 4.7% of the total. It is necessary to highlight the marked expansion registered in the last decade by leasing: leased ASAU increased during the period between the censuses of 1989 and 1999 by 2.2 million hectares, and went from 20% to 27% of the total ASAU. This expansion is closely related to the accelerating structural adjustment in our agriculture. In this context, in 2003 as a result of the reform of the Common Agriculture Policy, it was established a new system of subsidies for agriculture, the Single Payment Scheme (SPS), providing decoupled support to farmers. The member states of the EU-15, Spain between them, had to implement the SPS at least by 2007. The main objective of this study is to analyze the way in which agriculture support has been provided to Spain and its influence on the land market from the beginning of the CAP. For achiving this goal, econometric models are applied, using different kind of variables. |
