UNIT COSTS AND INCOME FROM SELECTED PRODUCTS IN 2015 – RESEARCH RESULTS IN THE AGROKOSZTY SYSTEM

Journal Title: Zagadnienia Ekonomiki Rolnej - Year 2017, Vol 351, Issue 2

Abstract

The aim of the paper is analysis of economic results of spring barley, grain maize, edible potatoes, sweet lupine, fodder pea and soybean in 2015 for farms having different production scale of these products. Research was held at commercial farms, which sell their production. These farms are enterprises. The results of products were influenced by production capacity of farms, i.e. resources of land, labour and capital, their quality and the way of use but they were also dependent on external conditions (e.g. market, weather). The consequence of diversification of direct and indirect costs and the cost of use in the production process of own factors of production is the diversity of economic costs. The research showed that the highest economic costs were recorded for small-scale of cultivation: edible potatoes, sweet lupine, fodder pea and soybean. While medium-scale of cultivation – spring barley and grain maize. With the increase of cultivation scale the income from management activity without subsidies – due to a farmer as an entrepreneur – generally incresed or the loss decreased. The loss incurred in the production process was covered by subsidies. The results indicate the advantage of a large scale of production, but it was revealed at different levels of economic calculation.
