Colombian's cotton producers could be displaced from the actual market if they do not adjust themselves in order to attend the new conditions of prices which are imposed by an opening economy.
it is necessary for farmers that they adjust the actual production structure in order to recover, through
the productive direction, the competitiviness which has been lost before and after the new policy
started to be applied. This study was conducted to quantify the behavior patterns of such structure,
estimating the reactions of costs and their basic components to modifications of prices inside the
productive factors. This cost function and the corresponding elasticities were estimed, adjusting data
corresponding to paid prices of such factors between 1973 and 1989. It was found that the production
cost had a greater response to changes in price of capital (0.59), than labor (0.30) and land occupation (0.11). This response was explained by some rigidity in the productive structure to substitute
mainly the requiered amounts in labor as well as capital. This fact, and the relative price increments
in capital/labor and land/labor ratios, explain how the limited growth in productiviness, which is lower
than that of cost, originated average increments per year of about two percent in the average cost.
Two new hipothesis were stablished: a) the tendency to intensify the relative participation of labor
and b) the presence of a substitution elasticity between capital and labor which is lower or close to
one. Eventhough results show that for each one percent of reduction in the price of capital, as it
is expected from the new political regulations, it could occur reductions of about 0.59% in cost, this
result would only happen if the new policy is such that, contrary to the last two decades, capital and
land prices proporcionalty decrease more than labor price. Therefore, the conclusion is that it is important to increase competitiviness in the market of factors, to rise producers interprise capacity and
to dispose new technologies which could be real alternatives to the intensive use of modern inputs. |

Economía de la producción - E16 Algodón Costos de producción Política agrícola Elasticidad de la demanda Transitorios Colombian's cotton producers could be displaced from the actual market if they do not adjust themselves in order to attend the new conditions of prices which are imposed by an opening economy. it is necessary for farmers that they adjust the actual production structure in order to recover, through the productive direction, the competitiviness which has been lost before and after the new policy started to be applied.

De no acomodarse a las nuevas condiciones de precios impuestas por la apertura econòmica, los productores nacionales de algodón podrían se► desplazados de sus actuales mercados. Es necesario que ellos ajusten su estructura de producción, recuperando por la vía productiva, la competitividad perdida antes y después de la aplicación de las nuevas medidas de política, Para identificar los patrones de comportamiento de tal estructura, en el presente estudio se estimaron as reacciones del costo y sus componentes básicos a las variaciones en los precios de los factores productivos. Para ello, se estima una función de costos, ajustando los datos de los precios pagados a los diferentes factores entre los anos de 1973 y 1989, y a partir de ella, se calcularon las elasticidades correspondientes. Se encontró que el costo de producción responde mas activamente a cambios en el precio del capital (0.59), que a modificados en el del trabajo (0.30) y en el de la tierra (0.11), fenómeno que fue explicado por la hipótesis de cierta rigidez de la estructura productiva a sustituir las cantidades utilizadas de trabajo y, en menor medida, las de capital. Este hecho, aunado a incrementos en los precios relativos capital/trabajo y tierra/trabajo explican la ocurrencia de importan-tes aumentos en los costos de producción que, ante el limitado incremento en la productividad, produjeron alzas medias anuales del 2% en el costa unitario. Se establecieron dos nuevas hipótesis relacionadas la una con la presencia de una tendencia a intensificar moderadamente la participación relativa del trabajo en el costa de producción, y la otra con la presencia de una elasticidad de sustitución entre este factor y el capital muy próxima a la unidad. A pesar de que los resultados indican que, dada este Ultima hipótesis, por cada 1% de reducción en el precio del capital podría esperarse que ocurran reducciones del 0.59% en el costa de producción, se advierte que este resultado solo seria factible si la política consigue incidir pare que, al contrario de lo sucedido en las dos ultimas décadas, los precios relativos capital/trabajo y de la tierra/trabajo realmente se reduzcan y pare que el use indiscriminado de insumos modernos se disminuya de manera evidente. Se concluye, por tanto, que es importante aumentar la competitividad en los mercados de los factores, elevar la capacidad empresarial de los productores y disponer de tecnologías realmente alternativas al use intensivo de insumos modernos.
