Sažetak
Owing to its regional specifics qualities Istria is suitable for vegetable production year around. The area has long and warm summers and mild rainy winters along with suitable soils for vegetable production in open fields. Therefore, the harvest is possible through autumn, winter and in early spring. With available water the vegetable production is possible even during summers.
Market oriented producers have good opportunities for business deve-lopment. Therefore, they need relevant information on economic production parameters. In this context the aim of the paper was to determine the income from different vegetable production of in the family farming system and to determine possibilities for income improvement on the same land area (0.89 ha). Our first model simulates income improvement by production intensification, while the second model simulates the income from 2 ha of land. We belive that vegetable producers can achieve higher income by production intensification and laud increase. In the research methods of questionnaire and calculation were used as well as simulation models.
