Efficiency of the Dairy Farms: A Study from Azores (Portugal)

“…This may be due to the struggle effort of the farmer who relies exclusively on agriculture to ensure the maximum yield. The total costs structure of the majority of the observed Azorean farms reveals the high weight of food (38.1%), and as result its reduction is one of the main goals of milk producers (Silva et al, 2016). In general terms, the average annual costs per hectare of these dairy farms were 2620.8 Euros (Silva et al, 2016), corresponding to about 70% of the obtained value from the sale of milk (3794 €/ha).…”

“…Since they are specialized milk production units, the average value of beef sold is very low (212.9 €/ha). However, there are farms that do not sell beef and neither do they receive subsidies, but for others, 22% of the income comes from those supports (Silva et al, 2016).…”

“…As a consequence, it is urgent to identify the most efficient production systems in order to outline a regional agricultural policy that could overpass the recent handicaps (Silva et al, 2016). As the development of other or complementary activities to the dairy farming can be a solution for the Azorean farmer instead of the abandonment of the activity, this research aims to compare the dairy farms efficiency according to the farmers' income source typology (FTF and PTF), as a way to rationalize the use of production factors for the milk production.…”

“…Given the importance of dairy farming for Azores, any exogenous variable could be risky for the milk production affecting its equilibrium and having serious consequences for the region, as the end of the European milk quotes system. Silva et al (2016) showed that this policy issue will decrease the milk price and consequently can affect the establishment of Azorean young farmers.…”

Land Cover Trade‐offs in Small Oceanic Islands: A Temporal Analysis of Pico Island, Azores

“…Livestock production is one of the most relevant sectors in the Azores archipelago. As an Autonomous Region of Portugal and a European Outermost Region, the Azores islands have benefited from financial support in the framework of European agricultural policies, mostly directed to livestock and milk production (Silva et al, ). Data from 2009 show that 89% of the utilized agricultural area of the Azores Region was occupied by permanent pastures (SREA, ).…”
