Abstract
El propósito del artículo es presentar la evolución de la producción triguera de España en la última década del siglo XIX. Para ello, se evalúan varias informaciones del período, y en particular dos de ellas: los avances estadísticos realizados por los ingenieros agrónomos provinciales en la década de los ochenta, y la estadística sobre consumo de cereales del Ministerio de Fomento de 1868. La principal conclusión que se deriva de esa investigación es que el consumo y la producción de trigo entre 1868 y 1890 fueron similares a los del período 1890-1896, lo que asemeja el caso español al italiano. Probablemente, el Arancel Cánovas tuvo un poderoso efecto en el incremento del autoconsumo de los campesinos cerealícolas.
The aim of this paper is to show the evolution of Spanish wheat output in the last decades of XIX century. The paper evaluates both the advances in statistical methods achieved by provincial agricultural scientists in the 80's, and the statistic consumption data published by the Ministry of Public Works in 1868. The main conclusion is that consumption and output of wheat between 1868 and 1890 were similar to those obtained for the period 1890-1896. This suggests that the Spanish and Italian cereal sectors behaved quite alike. The paper also proves that the tariff approved by Cánovas had a powerful effect on the wheat pattern of consumption of the Spanish peasantry.
