dc.description.abstract | Extensive livestock farming in
general is more sustainable than intensive
methods. However, its profitability is usually
low, which can affect the motivation of young
people to take up livestock rearing, and often
leads them to seek employment elsewhere.
The aim of this paper is to study the factors
affecting the Farm profit of extensive ruminant
farms in marginal areas of Southern Chile.
To achieve this, we used Structural Equation
Modeling (SEM), which provides an in-
depth view of the relationships of different
variables (items) with Farm profit (target
variable). The exogenous construct that we
obtained (Structural variable), consisting
of the items Grazing area, Hired labor and
Total Livestock Units (LU), exerts a direct,
significant explanatory influence on the
endogenous construct (Economic variable),
which includes the items Hay cost, Total sales
and Economic records, showing a significant,
positive slope in the target variable (Farm
profit). These structural variables largely
condition the entire economic process.
However, business decisions linked to farm
management influence structural factors
and affect the value of income, expenditure
and Farm profit. Studying the factors which
influence Farm profit sheds light on the main
weaknesses of the system in terms of the
financial operation, as well as on potential
improvements, encompassing the social,
technical and environmental dimensions. | es |
