Economic analysis of the intercropping of lettuce and tomato in different seasons under protected cultivation
Provedor de dados: 75
Autores: Cecílio Filho,Arthur Bernardes; Rezende,Bráulio Luciano A; Costa,Caciana C.
Lettuce and tomato are vegetables that can be grown in protected cultivation, under given conditions. Considering their expensive production systems, intercropping might be an excellent alternative to optimize costs. Four experiments were carried out at the São Paulo State University (UNESP), at Jaboticabal, Brazil, to study the economic viability of intercropping lettuce and tomato under protected cultivation. To set the intercropping, lettuce was transplanted 0, 10, 20, and 30 days after transplanting (DAT) tomato and vice-versa, in two seasons, namely April to September 2003 and January to June 2004, when monocultures of both vegetables were also carried out. At the first planting season, operational profits (OP) in intercropping (lettuce transplanted...

Tuber yield and economic result of ‘Atlantic’ potato in response to NPK fertilizer formulas
Provedor de dados: 75
Autores: Yagi,Renato; Soratto,Rogério P; Nazareno,Nilceu RX de; Silva,Henrique L da; Dzierwa,Alexandre de C.
ABSTRACT The usual application of high 4-14-8 NPK fertilizer rates in the potato planting furrows, independently of the soil fertility or nutritional cultivar requirements, has become a paradigm in Brazil. However, the 4-14-8 NPK formula does not always meet the crop needs, and can unbalance the availability of nutrients in the soil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the tuber yield and economic results of ‘Atlantic’ potato as affected by rates of 4-14-8 and 6-30-6 NPK formulas applied in the planting furrows. The rates of both NPK formulas were calculated to reach P2O5 rates of 210, 420, and 630 kg ha-1. At each P2O5 rate, the 6-30-6 formula resulted in less 30% N and 65% K2O in the planting furrow compared to 4-14-8 formula. A randomized...

Coeficiente técnicos e avaliação financeira do cultivo da pimenta longa no Acre.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: SA, C. P. de; PIMENTEL, F. A.
O interesse pelo cultivo da pimenta longa originou-se da crescente demanda de safrol natural no mercado nacional e internacional, visto que os países fornecedores deste composto químico (China e Vietnã) correm sérios riscos de não mais poderem atender, a médio e longo prazo, à demanda por este óleo essencial, devido ao sistema predatório utilizado no processo de extração. Considerando que o processo de obtenção do óleo essencial por meio do cultivo de pimenta longa está sendo construído, este estudo teve como finalidade apresentar coeficientes técnicos atualizados e determinar sua viabilidade financeira.

Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: SA, C. P. de; BAYMA, M. M. A.; WADT, L. H. de O.
A castanheira (Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl., Lechytidaceae) é uma das árvores símbolo da Amazônia devido a sua importância social, ecológica e econômica para a região. Milhares de famílias de extrativistas e produtores rurais utilizam a semente da castanheira, popularmente conhecida como castanha-do-pará ou castanha-do-brasil e mais recentemente castanha-da-amazônia, como fonte de renda. O sistema tradicional de coleta da castanha-do-brasil não considera a qualidade do produto comercializado, especialmente com relação às condições sanitárias (contaminação por aflatoxinas e coliformes fecais), o que muitas vezes ocasiona a impugnação pelo mercado comprador. Os grandes entraves para a cadeia produtiva da castanha-do-brasil têm sido o transporte e...

Objetivos e critérios de seleção em bovinos de corte em fase de cria.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: CARNEIRO JUNIOR, J. M.; ASSIS, G. M. L. de.
A pecuária de corte é caracterizada pelas fases de cria, recria e engorda, que podem ser exploradas como sistemas de produção isolados ou combinados. A cria, período que compreende da cobertura até a desmama, é considerada a fase mais importante da vida dos bovinos, pois o bezerro precisa alcançar, no intervalo de 7 a 8 meses, de 25% a 50% do peso final de abate. Nessa fase, preconiza-se não só a qualidade dos bezerros, mas também a condição corporal e saúde das vacas, dos touros e das novilhas que irão substituir as vacas de descarte. O objetivo de quem investe na cria de bovinos de corte é obter de cada vaca do rebanho um bezerro pesado e saudável por ano. Para obtenção de bezerros de qualidade é necessário o investimento em três pilares essenciais: o...

Análise econômica para a pecuária de corte em pastagens melhoradas no Acre.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: SA, C. P. de; ANDRADE, C. M. S. de; VALENTIM, J. F.
A pecuária de corte é a atividade com maior expressão econômica do setor agropecuário do Estado do Acre, representando aproximadamente 40% do valor bruto da produção. Contudo, sistemas de produção caracterizados como tradicionais, que apresentam baixos índices zootécnicos, predominam na maior parte das pequenas, médias e grandes propriedades. Consequentemente, o setor apresenta baixa produtividade e rentabilidade e tem causado impactos ambientais negativos decorrentes de desmatamentos, que implicam em perda de biodiversidade e degradação dos solos. Observa-se que a retração da atividade é ocasionada por diversos fatores, com destaque para medidas voltadas à redução nas taxas de desmatamento, o que limita a expansão das áreas de pastagens, e para a baixa...

Aumento da rentabilidade em sistemas de produção de cria.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: CARNEIRO JUNIOR, J. M.
A atividade de cria pode ser considerada uma das mais importantes fases na produção de bovinos de corte. A razão para isso está no fato dessa etapa ser a responsável pelo principal produto que irá abastecer toda a cadeia produtiva – o bezerro. A correta adoção e gestão desses procedimentos possibilitam a manutenção de um rebanho em constante melhoria genética, com a substituição de vacas improdutivas, inférteis ou que desmamam bezerros leves, por novilhas de melhor valor genético. Adicionalmente, propiciam a produção de lotes de bezerros uniformes e mais pesados com a maximização do potencial genético e melhor retorno econômico na atividade.

Estimating the economic performance of the EU aquaculture sector
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Guillen, Jordi; Natale, Fabrizio; Fernandez Polanco, Jose M., Jose M.
Despite the growing importance and high priority assigned by the EU policy makers to the development of aquaculture, little attention has been given to analyze the economic performance of the sector at EU level. Recently, the profitability of the EU aquaculture sector has been estimated by the European Commission’s Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF). However, the few studies that have estimated the profitability of the EU aquaculture sector show sometimes divergent results. In this paper, the economic performance of the EU aquaculture sector is analyzed by country, segment and main species for the years 2006, 2009 and 2010 using financial and accounting data extracted from the Amadeus database and results are compared to...

Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Dessier, Aurelie; Dupuy, Christine; Kerric, Anais; Mornet, Francoise; Authier, Matthieu; Bustamante, Paco; Spitz, Jerome.
To explore some aspects of mesozooplankton functional diversity, this study quantified energy density during the springtime in the Bay of Biscay both between different species and between different size-classes. Energy densities of copepod species (Centropages typicus, Anomalocera patersoni, Calanus helgolandicus, and Labidocera wollastoni), as well as anchovy eggs (Engraulis encrasicolus) ranged from 0.5 to 6.7 kJ/g wet weight (ww). Considering size-classes, energy densities varied from 0.74 to 1.26 kJ/g ww. Energy density of C. helgolandicus exhibited a spatial pattern with the highest values in the plume of the Gironde estuary. In contrast, no spatial pattern of energy density has been detected considering size-classes. Our results showed that the...

Autores: Cisse, Abdoul; Doyen, L.; Blanchard, Fabian; Bene, Christophe; Pereau, J. -c.
This paper applies a stochastic viability approach to a tropical small-scale fishery, offering a theoretical and empirical example of ecosystem-based fishery management approach that accounts for food security. The model integrates multi-species, multi-fleet and uncertainty as well as profitability, food production, and demographic growth. It is calibrated over the period 2006–2010 using monthly catch and effort data from the French Guiana's coastal fishery, involving thirteen species and four fleets. Using projections at the horizon 2040, different management strategies and scenarios are compared from a viability viewpoint, thus accounting for biodiversity preservation, fleet profitability and food security. The analysis shows that under certain...

Autores: Catanzano, Joseph; Lantz, Frederic; Vernier, C; Allard, M.o.
The artisanal fisheries industry has experienced a major development over the 80's: technology has improved and ship building costs have increased. The firms' economic behaviour and financial performances have shown that the marginal profitability of capital is lower for large units than for small units, the latter being used by coastal fisheries. Overall, conclusions on the financial situation of the industry must be qualified. Public intervention has materialized through (1) an increasing amount of state aids supporting modernization investment (Brittany being the most supported region), (2) more political and financial involvement of regions as a result of more administrative and decision making responsibilities being devolved to them, (3) the...

AN ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF THE WHOLE-FARM IMPACT OF PRECISION AGRICULTURE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Olson,   Kent D.; Elisabeth,   Pascal.
The full impact of an investment in a management information system (MIS), such as precision agriculture (PA), comes from improved managerial decision making throughout the whole farm and not just from improvements in a specific part of the farm.  This study was conducted to determine whether the adoption of PA had a positive impact on whole-farm profitability. To overcome problems of simultaneity and self-selection in the adoption decision of PA, this study used a two stage econometric model using data from farms in Southwest Minnesota. The PA adoption decision was evaluated in the first stage, and the impact of adopting PA was evaluated in the second stage.

Managing Complexity in Modern Farming
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kingwell,   Ross S.
Modern farming in Australia is no longer simple. Farms are large, multi-enterprise businesses underpinned by expensive capital investments, changing production technologies, volatile markets and pervasive regulation. The complexity of modern broadacre farming leads to the question: what is the nature of the relationship between farm business complexity and farm profitability? This study uses bioeconomic farm modelling and employs eight measures of complexity to examine the profitability and complexity of a wide range of broadacre farming systems in Australia. Rank order correlations between farm profitability and each measure of complexity show inconsistent relationships, although the most profitable farming systems are found to be reasonably complex on...

FOOD SAFETY REGULATION, PRODUCT PRICING, AND PROFITABILITY: THE CASE OF HACCP
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nganje,   William E.; Mazzocco,   Michael A.; McKeith,   Floyd K.
This paper assesses the impact of mandatory Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP) regulation on output price for small meat processors and packers and evaluates implications for firm-level profitability. The importance of HACCP regulation and pricing is an issue that deserves in-depth analysis because of its implications for the survival of small firms in the meat industry. To investigate this issue a survey was sent to meat processors and packers in the United States to collect data on HACCP expenses, output price before and after HACCP implementation, and inputs prices and quantities. Although output price did not increase significantly to compensate for HACCP expenses, analysis of the translog profit function revealed that small firms were...

The present paper investigates the effect of certain economic factors on the competitiveness of Greek Wine Enterprises and Unions of Agricultural Cooperatives (UACs). Data on 41 wineries and 10 UACs of Greece was collected for a period of three years (2004-2006). Financial analysis results were used with the help of a fixed effect model-panel data technique- using profitability as dependent variable in order to measure the competitiveness of wineries. The results indicated that the size of the enterprise as well as the square of the capital intensity have a positive influence on the winery’s profit.

STUDY ON THE ECONOMIC EFFECT OF PRODUCTION FREE FROM CHEMICAL USE

Autores: Kis,   Sandor.
The assumption, that in case of production different from the conventional one, operational and production risk are increasing in farms, is supported by the calculations. Input/output relations undergo a change in each sector and this may have serious financial outcomes, which would importantly determine profit yielding capacity and efficiency of farming. The statement of Offermann and Nieberg is true of the cost structure, according to which essential cost difference between the two technologies can not be measured. By the aid of the calculation, it was successfully verified – in compliance with the opinion of Wookey – that organic production can be as profitable, as the conventional production or even more so. In contradiction to Bmvel’s data, it can be...

A Stochastic Budgeting Analysis of Three Alternative Scenarios to Convert from Beef-Cattle Farming to Game Ranching
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Grove,   Bennie; Taljaard,   Pieter R.; Cloete,   Philip C.
The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the profitability and financial feasibility of three alternative scenarios to convert from beef-cattle farming to game ranching. The analyses acknowledge the importance of quantifying the probability of failure or success when making investment decisions. Risk is incorporated into a standard net present value analysis using risk simulation. De-trended historical auction prices of live game and on-the-hoof prices of weaner cattle were used to quantify price variability. The stochastic net present value analyses indicate that game ranching is more profitable than cattle farming. Although an investment in a limited number of common game species is financially feasible, the cash flow analysis indicates a...

When the Weak Win: Role of Farmer Groups in Influencing Agricultural Policy Outcome; a Case of Nkhate Irrigation Scheme in Malawi
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Magreta,   Ruth; Magombo,   Tennyson; Zingore,   Shamie.
The knowledge today recaps that’s livelihood of many African farmers are constrained by poor access to both inputs and output markets, limited entrepreneurial skills for adding value to produce and to bargain for better prices and finally limited technical skills in agricultural production. Despite a tremendous attention to salvage this through government interventions and research, there is still a big problem in addressing the smallholder farmer’s needs. Farmer organizations open up opportunities for farmers to better overcome the above mentioned constraints through lobbying and collective action. Drawing from results of Participatory diagnosis and participatory market research done in Nkhate irrigation scheme in 2007 and 2008 this paper examines the...

Farms are categorized by geographic region, farm type, farm size, gross cash sales, farm tenure, net farm income, debt-to-asset, and age of farmer to analyze relationships between financial performance and farm characteristics. There was severe deterioration of financial performance in 1997 because of poor crop profitability. Livestock farm performance was weak, but improved from 1996. Median net farm income was $14,290 in 1997 compared to $31,603 in 1996.  Three out of ten farms had negative net farm income and 57 percent of all farms were not able to make scheduled term debt payments.

This study evaluated the impacts of farm size and stochastic return variability on no-till (NT) rice profitability at the whole-farm level. Mixed integer programming was used to determine optimal machinery complements, fuel consumption, and machinery labor requirements for conventional till (CT) and NT rice-soybean farms of 1200, 2400, and 3600 acres in size. Crop yields, market prices, and prices for key production inputs were simulated to construct stochastic whole-farm net returns for each farm size under CT and NT management, and both first and second degree stochastic dominance analysis were used to rank cumulative distribution functions of whole-farm returns according to specified risk preferences. The results indicate NT farms exhibit second degree...

Farm supply cooperatives are an important component of the retail agribusiness industry in the United States. The objective of this research is to identify financial variables that are determinants of return on equity in these cooperatives. Firm effects are important and their effect is the result of managerial decision making and director policy. The estimated coefficient on asset size was not statistically significant, suggesting that return on equity is invariant to size over this period.

Federal, state and local governments have funded various efforts to support value added agriculture, often implicitly assuming that the enterprises would be profitable and that the transition from commodity producer to producer-processor-marketer-distributor would be relatively easy. Some analysts (e.g., Streeter and Bills; 2003a, 2003b) have questioned both of these assumptions, noting that available aggregate data do not allow assessment of the financial performance of value-added enterprises. Our study collected detailed financial information from 27 value-added dairy enterprises with cows, goats or sheep in three states. These businesses processed and marketed cheese, fluid milk products and yogurt; 17 had begun processing during the previous three...

Best fit model selection for spatial differences (regression) in the profitability analysis of precision phosphate (P) application to winter cereals in Precision Agriculture (PA)
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hough,   Ella Christina; Nell,   Wilhelm T.; Maine,   Ntsikane; Groenewald,   Jan A.; van der Rijst,   M.
Phosphates (P) are an important nutrient required by every living plant and animal cell, and deficiencies in soils could cause limited crop production, thereby reducing profitability. Phosphates are also a primary nutrient essential for root development and crop production, and are needed in the tissues of a plant where cells rapidly divide and enlarge. Precision agriculture (PA) could assist the farmer in applying the correct amount of P to the part of the field where it is required most. Variable rate technology (VRT) is a potential tool that can help with the development of strategies for phosphate fertilizer management. On-field trials were conducted on a commercial farm in the Western Cape Province; As many as five soil types occur on each field...

A Panel Data Analysis of the Repayment Capacity of Farmers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Durguner,   Sena.
Using a balanced panel of 264 unique Illinois farmers from 2000 to 2004, this study identifies the most pertinent factors that explain the repayment capacity of farmers. After correcting for endogeneity bias caused by farmer-specific effects, one year lagged debt-to-asset ratio and soil productivity are both found to be significantly correlated with the coverage ratio at the 5% significance level using random effects. The finding is significant because it can enhance agricultural lenders’ ability to assess creditworthiness, screen borrowers, manage loan loss reserves, and price loans, thereby decreasing lenders’ costs associated with defaulted loans and ultimately reducing the costs borne by the government and taxpayers.

Az utóbbi időben a mezőgazdasági termelők jó része elfordult az intenzív termeléstől, és költségkímélő módon kezdett gazdálkodni. Nem a körülményekhez képest legnagyobb termés betakarítása a cél, hanem a lehető legnagyobb profi t. Az elmúlt két év eredményeit vizsgálva kiderült, hogy a profi t mindenképpen nőtt a költségcsökkentéssel, ugyanakkor ez a szemlélet és gyakorlat hosszú távon jelentős agronómiai problémákat okozhat.   ----------------------------------------  Recently a sizeable portion of agricultural producers have abandoned intensive production in favour of low-cost farming.

Profitability of and Reasons for Adopting Automatic Milking Systems
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Latvala,   Terhi; Pyykkonen,   Perttu.
Adopting an automatic milking system (AMS) on a dairy farm decreases the hours spent on animal husbandry by approximately 30 per cent. When comparing a milking parlour and the AM-system, the main economic benefit clearly results from the decrease in labour costs in automatic milking. In terms of economic profitability, the net profit in AM-system remains above that of the milking parlour system. On dairy farms the main reasons for adopting automatic milking are linked to the workload and physical loading. A more flexible working time distributes the workload evenly during busy cultivation periods. More flexible leisure time is also important. Producers also want to enhance the welfare and health of the animals by increasing the milking frequency of highly...

Fertilizer use remains very low in most of Africa despite widespread agreement that much higher use rates are required for sustained agricultural productivity growth. This study estimates maize yield response functions in agro-ecological Zone IIA, a relatively high potential zone of Zambia, to determine the profitability of fertilizer use under a range of small farm conditions found within this zone. The theoretical framework used in this study incorporates agronomic principles of the crop growth process. The model distinguishes different roles of inputs and non-input factors in crop production. We estimate the effects of conventional production inputs as well as household characteristics and government programs on maize yield for households in the...

This paper examines broadacre farm performance in south-western Australia. This region has experienced pronounced climate variability and volatile commodity prices over the last decade or so. Relationships between productivity and profitability are explored using panel data from 50 farms in the study region. The data are analysed using non-parametric methods. Components of farm productivity and profitability are measured over the period 1998 to 2008. Economies of scale and scope are shown often to be positive contributors to productivity and profitability. However, the main finding is that technical change, much more so than technical efficiency, has supplied over 68 percent of the improvement in total factor productivity for farms in the different...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wineland,   Nora.
In 1995, the National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) collaborated with the Research and Education Division of the American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) in developing a needs assessment tool to identify the most important health and productivity factors for the sheep industry. In collaboration with the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), a statistically designed producer sample was selected to provide estimates for the United States sheep population in the 48 contiguous states. The NAHMS/ASI questionnaires were mailed to 19,807 sheep operations in January 1996; data were received and summarized from 5,174 respondents. It was estimated that in the 48 contiguous states, there were 82,040 operations with sheep as of 1995;...

Whole farm analysis-Fertiliser nitrogen can reduce deep drainage and increase profitability
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Scott,   J. Fiona.
Opportunity cropping has been shown to reduce mean annual deep drainage compared to long fallow systems. A question that remained was the effect of added fertiliser nitrogen under each of the cropping systems and whether it would make a significant difference to amounts of deep drainage and to profitability. Estimates of crop yield and deep drainage results were generated using the APSLM (Agricultural Production Systems Simulator) cropping systems model, to compare long-fallow wheat/sorghum and two opportunity-cropping scenarios on a vertosol on the Liverpool Plains using rainfall data from 1958 to 1997. The results showed that fertiliser nitrogen did have a significant effect on deep drainage and gross margin under each cropping system. However, higher...

FINANCIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF NORTH DAKOTA FARMS, 1999-2001
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Swenson,   Andrew L.
The performance of over 530 North Dakota farms, 1999-2001, is summarized using 16 financial measures.  Farms are categorized by geographic region, farm type, farm size, gross cash sales, farm tenure, net farm income, debt-to-asset, and age of farmer to analyze relationships between financial performance and farm characteristics. Farm financial trends for the 1992-2001 period are also presented.  Financial performance in 2001 declined for all 16 measures, except interest expense ratio, because of lower government subsidies, higher costs and continued low commodity prices. Financial performance in 2000 and 1999 was the highest since 1993 because low crop prices were offset by extraordinary government and crop insurance payments, good yields and improved beef...

Autores: Herczeg,   Adrienn.
A versenyképes termelés, a jövedelmező gazdálkodás érdekében a megfelelő tőkeszerkezet, a tevékenység számára „optimális” tőkestruktúra kialakítása elengedhetetlen része a pénzügyi vezetők feladatainak, amit a vállalatok értékmaximalizálása során számításba kell venniük. A vizsgált jövedelmezőségi mutatók regressziós analízise révén igazolódott, hogy a forrásszerkezeti arányok jelentősen hatnak a jövedelmezőségre. Meghatározásra került továbbá egy olyan tőkeáttételi arány – tevékenységi irány és méretspecifi kusan –, melyről elmondható, hogy az azt meghaladó érték veszteséges gazdálkodással párosul. Megállapítható, hogy az optimális tőkestruktúra megteremtése érdekében első lépésben a saját források szerepének erősítésére szükséges törekedni, mindenekelőtt...

A támogatások szerepe a magyar mezőgazdaságban
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kovacs,   Gabor.
Az agrár- és vidékfejlesztési támogatások a világ számos országában igen jelentősek. Magyarországon a 2008-ban kifizetett támogatások a szektor által előállított bruttó hozzáadott érték közel 44 százalékát tették ki. Ezt a juttatást – egyfajta közvetett adóként – a fogyasztók, illetve a többi ágazat finanszírozza (jórészt az EU szintjén). Ezért folyamatosan célszerű vizsgálni, hogy az agrártámogatások által okozott torzulások (pl. a termelés fennmaradása versenyképtelen üzemekben, a termelési struktúra nemkívánatos változásai) kellően indokolhatók-e ökonómiai vagy más előnyökkel, illetve hogy ezek a célok hatékonyabb módon is elérhetők-e?

Financial costs and benefits of investing in domesticated “Sonkyi” (Allanblackia spp) in the forest region of Southern Ghana
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Egyir,   Irene Susana; Kwadzo,   George Tsey-Mensah.
The integration of “Sonkyi” Allanblackia spp into cocoa farming systems has been initiated in Southern Ghana.  Currently, it is a collection activity although its domestication is being championed by Unilever R&amp;D Netherlands in collaboration with the Forestry Research Institute of Ghana.  Feasibility studies suggest that the venture is viable for farmers if the financial support assurances by Uniliver would be sustained.  It is important to assess the feasibility of ‘no support’ so that those private sector entrepreneurs who want to venture into this activity would understand the real cost and return issues.  This paper presents the results of a financial cost-benefit appraisal of AB investment in the Western Region of Ghana. Using alternate viability...

Past research about the efficiency of nitrogen application in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) based on source and timing has produced inconsistent results. The majority of the literature used data from few locations over short time periods. This study used a unique data set of yields and nitrogen quantities from 2002-2009 at ten different locations in Oklahoma, USA. The objective of this research was to determine wheat yield response for granular pre-plant, uniform foliar topdress, and variable rate foliar topdress. Topdress liquid nitrogen had a 19% higher NUE than pre-plant urea, and was the most profitable source of nitrogen.

The performance of over 530 North Dakota farms, 1996-1998, is summarized using 16 financial measures.  Farms are categorized by geographic region, farm type, farm size, gross cash sales, farm tenure, net farm income, debt-to-asset, and age of farmer to analyze relationships between financial performance and farm characteristics. There was severe deterioration of financial performance in 1997. Financial performance in 1998, although the second lowest in the 1991-1998 period, improved because strong crop yields and emergency federal aid helped offset low crop and livestock prices. Median farm net income was $19,491 in 1998, $14,290 in 1997 and $31,603 in 1996. One-fourth of farms had negative net farm income and 51 percent of farms were not able to make...

An input distance function (IDF) is estimated to empirically evaluate and analyze the technical and environmental efficiencies of 210 farms located in the Chaudière watershed (Quebec), where water quality problems are particularly acute because of the production of undesirable outputs that are jointly produced with agricultural products. The true IDF is approximated by a flexible translog functional form estimated using a full information maximum likelihood method. Technical and environmental efficiencies are disaggregated across farms and account for spatial variations. Our results show that there is a significant correlation between technical and environmental efficiencies. Farms that are technically efficient tend to be environmentally efficient. We...

Autores: McBride,   William D.; Greene,   Catherine R.; Ali,   Mir B.; Foreman,   Linda F.
Results from long-term experimental trials suggest that similar yields and lower costs are possible from organic compared with conventional field crop production, but there is little information about the relative costs and returns on commercial farms. This study examines the structure and profitability of commercial wheat production using a nationwide survey of wheat producers for 2009 that includes a targeted sample of organic growers. Treatment-effect models were specified to isolate the impact of choosing the organic approach on various levels of wheat production costs. Average organic wheat yields were much lower than for conventional wheat, but per acre operating plus capital costs were also lower. Estimated operating costs per bushel for organic...

This study shows the impact of cropping intensity on the economic results of plant production in Poland. The real amount of production outlays, which in value terms represents the level of direct costs, was adopted as the intensity measure. The economic results diversification scale is reflected by the level of gross margin and income from management activity, as well as by the production profitability index in the activity types analysed. When using low-intensity, as compared to high-intensity, cropping technologies, the economic results of the activities in question become more favourable. The profitability analysis of various production factors points to a prevalence of agricultural farms with low intensity levels of the activity conducted. Lower...

Economic Simulation model (SIMETAR) was used to investigate the effect of future corn price on profitability of control and phytase enhanced diet of hogs. The completed simulation model was used to estimate probability distribution for control vs lower excretion diet profitability under different corn prices. Data used was collected from recent field trials in Oklahoma that tested the effect of phytase enhanced diets on reducing phosphorus emission. The results showed that as the market price of corn increases control diet will be more profitable than phytase enhanced diet, given the cost of other remaining feed ingredient is constant for both the diets.

Comparison of milk production costs among EU members
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mach,   Jiri; Rezbova,   Helena.
This paper attempts to identify factors which influence the effectiveness of milk production. The basic aim is to compare levels of costs in the dairy industry between Czech and European producers. The average cost per 100 kg ECM milk is determined from data provided by the European Dairy Farmers association (EDF). The total costs per 1 litre of Czech milk producers are on the European average level with high production efficiency. The problem is only in the utilisation of basic production factors, especially land and labour.

Autores: Alavalapati,   Janaki R.R.; Jose,   Shibu; Stainback,   G. Andrew; Matta,   Jagannadha R.; Carter,   Douglas R.
Cogonagrass  (Imperata Cylindrica), an invasive weed, is a threat to slash pine forests.  Using a dynamic optimization model, we estimated the impact of cogongrass on the profitability of slash pine forestry under four scenarios:  no threat of cogongrass infestation; infestation is uncertain, and no control measures are taken; infestation is uncertain, but control measures are undertaken by one landowner but not the neighbors; and infestation is uncertain, and control measures are undertaken by everyone.  Results indicate that annual net returns per acre under each scenario, respectively, are $25.30, $16.97, $13.89, and $17.38. Results suggest fostering a cooperative behavior among landowners is desirable.

MAXIMUM-LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATES OF RACEHORSE EARNINGS AND PROFITABILITY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Vinzant,   Patrick L.; Neibergs,   J. Shannon.
Thoroughbred racehorses are commonly characterized as unprofitable investments.  Previous studies, grouping all racehorses together, estimate that over 80% of all racehorses in training fail to earn enough to recover the variable costs of training.  However, these studies are not truly representative, because they fail to account for a number of factors affecting profitability.  This study estimates expected purse earnings and profitability of claiming horses in Kentucky.  Maximum-likelihood estimates of probability distribution parameters show that expected purse earnings follow an exponential distribution with a mean of $25,267.  Profitability is best described by a Gamma distribution with a mean of $4,824.  Of the 305 claims analyzed for profitability,...

Sustainable development and environmental consciousness is getting more important. It is a requirement of human activity – i.e. agriculture – to use less artificial chemicals, to decrease environmental burden and to ensure the adequate food supply, by fitting the basic economic criteria. Those farming alternatives are shown in the paper that are based on different chemical use in plant production. It is investigated how the profitability will change when we make changes in former farming activity, and what should be changed to reach income turning to organic faming or precision farming. In developing countries the main question is to produce the essential food demand, but it is necessary to examine the existence of fundamental important factors, the costs...

Autores: Hodina,   Peter; Lamfalusi,   Ibolya.
A kilencvenes évtized első éveiben a külföldi tőkebefektetés egyik kiemelt cél-pontja az élelmiszeripar volt. A rendkívül gyors vállalat-felvásárlás és a megva-lósított tőkeemelés hatására 1993-ban a (vizsgált) élelmiszeripar összes jegyzett tőkéjének már 43 százaléka volt külföldi tulajdonban. Ez a részesedés 2000-re meghaladta a 60 százalékot. A dinamikusan növekvő tőkebefektetési tendencia 2000 után megtört, s azóta minden évben, kisebb-nagyobb mértékben mind a jegyzett tőke, mind pedig a külföldi tőke csökken az élelmiszeriparban.  A 2000. évet megelőző időszakban az élelmiszeriparban jelentkező többletki-bocsátás teljes egészében a külföldi tőkét is működtető vállalkozásokhoz kapcso-lódott.

Double Transplanting: Economic Assessment of an Indigenous Technology for Submergence Avoidance in the Flood-Prone Rice Environment in Bangladesh
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Azad,   Md Abdus Samad; Hossain,   Mahabub.
In the northern part of Bangladesh a large proportion of land is medium and low-lying which are subjected to the risk of flooding from heavy rains during the month of August and September. Consecutive days of heavy rains after the crop establishment causes flash floods leading to death of seedlings and additional costs for re-transplanting. In response to this environmental problem, farmers practice a system of double transplanting of rice, locally known as Bolon to avoid crop failure from submergence. One-month old seedlings are transferred to another field with dense transplanting, and then re-transplanted to the main after the risk of flash flood is over. Scientists argue that the system would have lower yield and higher costs, thereby lower profits...

Autores: McKee,   Gregory J.
The objective of this research is to assess the financial performance of North Dakota farm supply and grain handling cooperatives between 2002 and 2006. Audited financial statements from 120 cooperatives were used. Various financial variables are tested as determinants of profitability. Financial ratio analysis is used to observe trends in liquidity, solvency, and efficiency. Comparisons in ratio trends are made based on relative profitability. No statistical relationship is found between business size and profitability. The most profitable North Dakota agricultural input supply and grain marketing cooperatives were observed to have financial ratio values distinct from less profitable ones.

Competitive Relationship of Three Warm-Season Turfgrass Species
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Adrian,   John L., Jr.; Duffy,   Patricia A.; Lloyd,   Michael.
The competitive position of three warm-season turf species commonly grown in the South (bermudagrass, centipedegrass, and zoysiagrass) is evaluated for a farm with 100 acres available to allocate to turfgrass-sod production. A multiperiod linear programming model is used to determine optimal mixes of grasses and resulting net returns for a seven-year planning horizon. Within current observable price ranges, variation in the prices of the different grasses has little impact on the profit-maximizing combination of grasses. Bermudagrass, with the shorter production cycle and positive influence on cash flow, dominates the higher-valued, longer-production-cycle alternative grasses. Availability of initial money capital from internal sources does not alter the...

The profitability of wool production after surface application of lime and superphosphate on acid soils
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Khairo,   Salahadin A.; Norton,   Mark R.
Soil acidity is one of the major farm management problems on the Southern Tablelands of NSW. Soil acidity occurs naturally and yet some agricultural practices exacerbate the process through nitrification, leaching, removal of produce and accumulation of organic matter in the soil. A grazing experiment was conducted between 1999 and 2008 near Sutton, NSW, to assess the impact of various combinations of lime and superphosphate application, and stocking rates, on the profitability and sustainability of wool production on the Southern Tablelands. The profitability of 15 alternative experimental treatments was assessed using the discounted cash flow analysis method for a Merino wether enterprise. The results revealed that the highest net present value was...

Autores: Xu,   Zhiying; Govereh,   Jones; Black,   J. Roy; Jayne,   Thomas S.
Multi-year nationwide survey data is used to estimate maize yield response functions and determine profitability of fertilizer use by small-scale farmers in Zambia. There has been a dearth of empirical studies on economics of fertilization in the context of Sub-Saharan Africa. In this paper we identify major methodological issues arising from using survey data and estimate maize yield response functions for small-scale rural households that have various management practices and soil conditions in two major agro-climatic zones. Profitability of fertilizer use is determined for each group of households. Our findings provide the following key messages. First, households that obtained fertilizer on time and used animal draught power or mechanical power for...

Sheep enterprises—what are the differences?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Graham,   Phil; White,   A.
Difficult seasonal conditions during the last six years have placed many farms under significant financial pressure. Producers have been looking for enterprise changes which will quickly improve their profits. New breeds have increased the options available, but there is rarely any local production data for them. Information in the media has done little more than create confusion about the true differences between sheep enterprises. Modelling allows this complex question to be looked at in a logical fashion and combines production and financial factors in the comparison. GrassGro® was used at two locations in southern NSW, Yass and Cowra, for the period 1960 to 2007. The results indicated that no enterprise performed consistently better based on profit per...

Autores: Christensen,   Lee A.
Corn production uses over 25 percent of the Nation's cropland and more than 40 percent of the commercial fertilizer applied to crops. Thus, corn farmers' choices of soil, nutrient, and water management systems can have a major impact not only on their own profitability, but also on the environment. If sound economic and environmental choices are to be encouraged, it may help to assess relationships between operator and farm characteristics and the adoption of management techniques by corn farmers. Data from the 1996 Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) of U.S. corn farms and producers are analyzed for this purpose, supplemented by a literature survey on factors that influence corn farm management choices. Relationships were found between certain...

The conversion to organic farming has proven to be an economically interesting alternative for a large portion of the converted farms in the past. This contribution will consider the question of which factors influence the success of organic farming. The basis for the study is a series of data taken from the converting farms themselves as well as data of the farm accountancy data network. The success of conversion is measured by the profit difference in comparison to a conventional reference group, while the absolute performance of the organic farm is assessed classically on the basis of the profit per family work unit. The results show that the successful farms are more likely to be arable farms. Successful organic farms tend to produce in a more...

Two experiments were simultaneously carried out to compare feed formulation models: a linear model for minimum cost with a nonlinear model for maximum profitability for one-to 42-d-old broilers. One-d-old male or female Cobb 500 broilers (n=2368) were allocated to one of the two trials according to sex. The experiments were performed simultaneously in an experimental poultry farm. Two housing densities were used: high density (HDH), with 14 birds/m2, and low density (LDH), with 10 birds/m2. The following treatments were evaluated: linear feed formulation and LDH (LF10); nonlinear formulation and LDH (NF10); linear formulation and HDH (LF14); and nonlinear formulation and HDH (NF14).

ABSTRACT Poultry rations are composed mainly of conventional cereal grains and proteins. Using non-conventional agro-industrial by-products may reduce the cost of production and thereby improve productivity. A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary brewery spent grain inclusion on egg laying performance, quality parameters of bovans brown and profitability of the rations. A total of 200 pullets with similar body weight and age were randomly distributed to five treatments with four replications. The treatments were brewery spent grain (BSG) inclusion of 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% levels for T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively. The CP and ME contents of treatment rations were 16.54-17.04% and 2871-2903 kcal/kg DM, respectively. Inclusion of the BSG...

Advances in apple culture worldwide
Provedor de dados: 94
Autores: Robinson,Terence.
Over the last 60 years, planting densities for apple have increased as improved management systems have been developed. Dwarfing rootstocks have been the key to the dramatic changes in tree size, spacing and early production. The Malling series of dwarfing rootstocks (M.9 and M.26) have been the most important dwarfing rootstocks in the world but are poorly adapted in some areas of the world and they are susceptible to the bacterial disease fire blight and the soil disease complex, apple replant disease which limits their uses in some areas. Rootstock breeding programs in several parts of the world are developing improved rootstocks with resistance to fire blight, and replant disease, and improved cold hardiness and yield efficiency. A second important...

Abstract: The success of soybean-maize double summer crop is very dependent on the sowing date and relative maturity group of cultivars. This study aimed to evaluate the economic feasibility of the adoption of soybean-maize double cropping under different sowing periods and soybean maturity groups. The production data used were obtained from two summer growing seasons (2016/17 and 2017/18) in an experiment carried out at Dois Vizinhos-PR, Brazil. The economic feasibility of each treatment was evaluated through the indicators of gross revenue, gross margin, operating profit, and profitability index. Soybean-maize succession is viable and presents positive profitability. Soybean establishment on October 15th makes it economically unfeasible to sow maize...

Provedor de dados: 63
Autores: Pardo,Gabriel; Aibar,Joaquín; Cavero,José; Zaragoza,Carlos.
Cropping systems like organic farming, selling products at a higher price and promoting environmental sustainability by reducing fertilizer and pesticides, can be more profitable than conventional systems. An economic evaluation of three cropping systems in a seven year period experiment was performed, using a common rotation (fallow-barley-vetch-durum wheat) in a semi-arid rainfed field of Spain. The minimum input system included mouldboard ploughing, cultivator preparation, sowing and harvest. The conventional system involved mineral fertilizer and herbicide treatments, while the organic system involved composted manure and mechanical weed control. The resulting economic margins were highest with the minimum input system, followed by the organic and...

Autores: Takahashi,Leonardo Susumu; Gonçalves,Flavio Daolio; Abreu,Janessa Sampaio de; Martins,Maria Inez Espagnoli Geraldo; Ferreira,Antonio Carlos Manduca.
Brazilian fish farms presented an accelerated development during the early 90's, mainly because of the increase in fee-fishing operations. To meet the demand of this market, fish production and supply became excessive and, as a consequence, the number of fee-fishing operations, farmers and the final selling price, decreased. This study analyzes the technical aspects, production cost, profitability and economic viability of the production of piauçu (L. macrocephalus) in ponds, based on information from a rural property. Feeding and fingerling costs amount to approximately 47.1% of the total production cost, representing together with the final selling price the most important factor affecting profitability. The payback period was 8.3 years, the liquid...
