Productive efficiency of wine grape producers in the North of Portugal

Portugal is a country traditionally dedicated to viticulture and character-ized by the production of wines of high quality. It has been among the top of 15 coun-tries in the sector in terms of vineyard area extension and wine production, however in recent years Portugal have lost market share in the...

The specific hypothesis to be tested is if structural factors of the wine grape farms are determinant of its productive efficiency. To achieve this purpose, we use a database collected by face-to-face surveys from a sample of 154 wine-growing farms with specific input-output information from 2017. These farms are locating in the three regions of the North of Portugal (Minho, Douro and Trás-os-Montes), which represents more than 40% of the Portuguese vineyard area. To analyse the productive efficiency of the farms, we use the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). The results show that the efficiency level in the wine-growing farms from the North of Portugal is around 68/67%, but with significant differences at regional level. Many of these discrepancies may be due to structural factors, such as the type of wine grapes and the specific characteristics of the region. In conclusion, farms must adjust produc-tion management to the existing structural characteristics.Firenze University PressUniversidade de Santiago de Compostela.
