Comparison of performance indicators in agricultural production and animal husbandry: Latin America and European Union countries.
Abstract
The objective of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis
of the characteristics of agricultural and livestock production,
especially with respect to technological performance, between
countries of Latin America and the European Union (EU).
Specifically irrigation, mechanization, economically active

of important agricultural and livestock products were considered.
The data source was the United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization statistics data bank (FAOSTAT), from the years 1996
to 1998. Factorial and principals components analyses, as well as
herarchical clasification, were used, processed with the STAT -
ITCF software from the Institut Technique de Céréales et des
