Crédit agricole et agriculture en France au XXe siècle

Abstract

The XXth century is marked by the « bankerization » of the farming world. Agriculture has become a debt economy. In its added value, the part of the debt has grown from 16 % to 145 °/o between 1945 and 1984. Credit Agricole has accompanied this growth and also increased its speed. This bank is covering today 80 % of the agricultural debt against 40 % in the thirties. The support of the state, at a time when banking avoided getting involved in farming, was a leading factor. Simultaneously, were drawn into a melting pot the agrarian leaders, the administrative and political world and the managers. But this was not enough. Credit Agricole has developed a real know-how. It is a strength today as the support of the state is declining.
