Ekonomska oportunost proizvodnih sustava rajčice

Conventional agricultural production is denoted by high levels of chemisation, strait specialised production, high yields and low costs per production unit (Abdul-Baki, 1998 ; Shennan, 1992). However this production causes risky interventions, which could affect negatively on environment and human health (Bašić 1996). Research of Bulluck et al (2002), Elliot and Mumford (2002) and Ban (2001) indicate possibilities for growing vegetables in alternative systems, less risky for environment with satisfying economic success. The aim of this research was to determine economic success of ecological, sustainable and conventional production of tomato in the Mediterranean area of Republic Croatia. Bianual research was conducted during 2002/2003. Two parallel tests on tomatoes were set using the method of random block pattern in three repetitions with two significant factors. The main production system of tomatoes had three production systems (ecological, sustainable, conventional), and the subfactor was mychorizza which had two systems (inoculated plants and non-inoculated plants with Glomus mossae). During vegetation we examined parameters of growth and marketable yields and costs for materials, work and machinery which are used in economic analysis. Economical analysis of tomatoes production in three types indicate worst results in ecological production system. Loses in tomatoes ecological production were consequences of two main factors: lower marketed yield and equal product price for all three production types. Lower yields in ecological production were expected, therefore bad financial results were caused by mainly low market prices, which do not validate quality and food safety. Therefore financial success is preconditioned by higher marker validation of ecological products, which can be obtained through market analysis and product development.
