Abstract
Potato is one of the most represented crops in the world whose production in Croatia is decreasing the few years. This work aimed to (a) show the state in the production of potatoes in Croatia and worldwide, and (b) assess whether the negative trends in the production of potatoes in Croatia are attributed to unfavorable financial indicators. Financial analysis based on the potatoes yield of of 35 t/ha and farm gate price of 1.10 €/kg indicated a satisfactory earning power, which is about six times higher than in the production of most used agricultural crops in Croatia. In addition to the baseline scenario, which includes the current value of production factors, financial indicators were calculated in two additional scenarios¸with simulated changes in the yield and farm gate prices.
