The aim of this study was to assess the operational efficiency of agricultural training systems. Are the most highly trained farmers more efficient than those with less training ? This analysis focuses on the effects of training at two particular stages : when setting up a farm and deciding how it should be run, and during the initial stages, how efficiently the business is run. The findings show that the agricultural training systems should make greater efforts to accompany young farmers setting up in business, by helping them to define their farming objectives more clearly. Accumulating manpower does not suffice : in order tu succeed, the optimum conditions of production have to be achieved.
