Resumen
Descripción
The main purpose of this paper is evaluating the competitiveness of the Alqueva
irrigation project in the Alentejo region, South of Portugal. This study was based on three
representative farms which were selected from one farm sample of the Monte Novo irrigation
scheme. For each farm, it was developed a multi-period mathematical programming
model which represents its specific skills. Results show that Common Agricultural Policy
and Water Framework Directive have adverse impact on competitiveness. However, the adoption of new technological innovations and more environmental sustainable systems of agricultural production
might help to mitigate those adverse impacts and promote the competitiveness of this irrigation project.
