| Sumario: | In this paper, we address the confidence of the agricultural producers in their prosperity as a driver of development. The
agricultural sector development is highly dependent on short term investment decisions for sowing area, breeding, among
others, which in turn is mediated by confidence. Agricultural producer confidence is continually measured in Argentina by
CREA, a non-profit organisation composed of groups of producers spread across the country striving for innovation and
best practices diffusion. We leverage this measurement methodology to propose a structural equation model to explain
confidence by an exhaustive collection of factors affecting the business at company, sector or economy level, providing
critical insight about the range of policies that would enable agriculture to grow. High regulation and tax burdens prevailing in the market during the past decades have been identified as relevant hindrance factors to confidence. On the
enablers side are the respect for property rights and the organisation effectiveness actively fostered by CREA. |
