dc.description.abstractTHE PIG MEAT PRODUCTION PLAYS A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE SPANISH AGROFOOD SYSTEM. THE ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFICIENCY PERFORMANCE WITH WHICH FARMERS ARE OPERATING IS NECESSARY TO DEFINE ADEQUATE POLICY AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES. IN THIS CONTEXT, THIS STUDY AIMED TO DETERMINE THE TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY (TE) PERFORMANCE OF PIG FARMS AND TO EXAMINE THE KEY FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT THE PRODUCTION SYSTEM IN SPAIN. TO DO SO, THE ANALYSIS RELIES ON THE QUANTILE STOCHASTIC FRONTIER MODEL USING A SAMPLE OF SPANISH PIG FARMS. RESULTS SHOW A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRODUCTION FRONTIER PARAMETERS ACROSS THE SELECTED QUANTILES, WHICH SUPPORT THE RELEVANCE OF USING THE QUANTILE REGRESSION APPROACH. THE OPTIMAL QUANTILE FOR THE STOCHASTIC FRONTIER INDICATES AN AVERAGE TE LEVEL OF 75%. IN ADDITION, EMPIRICAL FINDINGS SUGGEST THAT PIG FARMERS IN SPAIN GIVE MORE IMPORTANCE TO THE ADOPTION OF HIGH TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE THEIR ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE AS WELL AS THEIR COMPETITIVENESS AT THE EUROPEAN PIG MARKET.
