FRANCE’S FARMERS
PART II
So what is to be done
STRUCTURAL WEAPONS
The government has used three structural weapons against uneconomic farms they are (1)
remembrement ,(2) special pensions for farms who quit ,and (3) the safer.
French farms often consisted of soatered pieces of land this was because of indefemetely
laws.rembremmet means putting these scattered pieces of land together .some farmers have more
tham one piece of land.thisland is often in different places. French farms can exchange one far away
pieces of land for closer one. The result is that farms are more compact because fields are closer
together.this has happened since 1945.it has happened to more than half of the 18 million hectares of
broken up fields .recently it has happened at a rate of 400,000 hectares a year.
If a farmers stops farming,he gets a speciaal pension . in 70% of cases this will change the size of fields.
Those who buy his land will have larger hectars .this policy affects 30.000 to 40.000 fields per year.it
affects 600..00 to 700.000 hectars of year per year.
The safer is a regional group run by farmers .safers have the first option to by farm land when it is put
on the market . they carry out some improvements .then they resell the land a year or two later.about
500.000
60.000 hectares of land go on the market each year.the safers by about 70.000 hectars a year .this
below the target.that is because there are some problem with the pllan. One problem is that the right to
buy land first does not applyif the land considered profitable.another problem is that the funds which
finaces the safers are to small.a third problem is that when land price are rising ,the federeation of
financials . banks has less money to land to help farmers buy land.
One aims of the safers was to prevent non farms from buying land . most french farms are opposed to
capitalist ownershift of land,they are in favorof owner occupation .but the capital costs of land and
equipment are rising rapidly.this often results in capitalis buying land .the government is trying to help
the farmers ,but they still need more help.
