Determinants of innovation by agri-food firms in rural Spain: an MCA PLS-SEM analysis

Xosé-Manuel Martínez-Filgueira, David Peón, Edelmiro López Iglesias · 2021 · The International Food and Agribusiness Management Review

Summary. Small and medium agri-food firms in Spain innovate primarily to increase sales, enter new markets, and improve product quality, driven by firm capacity and financial resources. Smaller and younger firms face greater barriers to innovation. The study finds that firms rarely innovate to reduce costs or meet regulatory requirements. Public policy should address environmental compliance and employment maintenance, while supporting market-driven innovation incentives.
