Sažetak
In this paper we present the basic economic features of milk and dairy production and sale of selected farms from Koprivnica municipality. The level of capacity use and economic efficiency of production are evaluated, as well as performances of its increase. Basic data are gathered by review of capacities and production of farms where agriculture is a primary income source, and production of milk and dairy products makes the greatest part of agricultural income. These farms are completely marketoriented, and differ between themselves by socio-economic characteristics, agricultural production structure, and the level of specialization in milk production and processing. All examined farms have efficient business. Specialized farm, dealing only with production and processing of milk, has the biggest level of capacity use, and the biggest values of economic indicators. Within mixed farms which, beside milk production, have also other agricultural production economic indicators are significantly different, depending on production structure, the level of the processing of dairy products and the ways of market sale. Economic efficiency of milk production is significantly increased by milk processing within household, as well as by own sale of milk and dairy products, instead of usual purchase of "big" dairy-plants. Also, the efficiency of total agricultural production is increased by own growned calves fattening.
