Resum

The decline of seed potato production in Spain: an economically profitable growing space marked by social unsustainability Like a “selected seed”, seed potato cultivation is subject to productive strict regulation and normatively limited to a very small space of the Spanish agro. This competitive advantage, linked to the profitability of the crop for farms, collides with the negative trend followed in the last decades in cultivated surface and annual production. Producing areas in Spain are mid-mountain areas in province of Álava, Burgos, Palencia and Navarra, with very low population density and clear demographic decline, with great difficulty for generational replacement on farms. In this starting point, the proposal of this paper is to contrast the objective of agricultural competitiveness, as one of the pillars of rural development of the CAP, with the unfavourable circumstance of business continuity in socially depressed areas.
