Abstract

In the structure of agricultural production in the Republic of Croatia, plant production is predominant. Without the implementation of some crop protection measures, the losses of potential yield at the world level would amount to around 50%. EU agriculture is still heavily reliant on the use of pesticides for crop protection, and the average specific costs of crop production (including the cost of crop protection) amounts up to 41.5% of the total cost in the EU-28. Using the standard results of the FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) system, the data of 9 types of plant production in the Republic of Croatia were analyzed in the period from 2017 to 2019. The type of specialist horticulture uses the most labor units and at the same time has the highest total outputs, total costs and plant production costs. The highest cost of plant protection was recorded for mixed crops, while the lowest was for olives growing, which is also in line with European data. However, when looking at the share of the cost of plant protection in the total production cost, the type of specialist orchards-fruits is leading, which is expected, because modern fruit plantations require large investments in protection against frost, hail, and standard plant protection. If we look at the share of the cost of plant protection in the total outputs, it is again the highest for specialist orchards-fruits, which at the same time generate the lowest total outputs of the analyzed types, and the lowest in the specialist olives growing type.

Abstract

U strukturi poljoprivredne proizvodnje Republike Hrvatske prevladava biljna proizvodnja. Bez provođenja neke od mjera zaštite gubitci potencijalnog prinosa na svjetskoj razini bili bi oko 50%. Poljoprivreda EU se još uvijek uvelike oslanja na upotrebu pesticida za zaštitu bilja a prosječni specifični troškovi biljne proizvodnje (u koje spada i trošak biljne zaštite) čine 41,5% ukupnog troška proizvodnje u EU-28. Primjenom standardnih rezultata FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) sustava analizirani su podaci 9 tipova biljne proizvodnje RH u razdoblju od 2017. do 2019. godine. Tip povrćarstvo, cvjećarstvo i ukrasno bilje koristi najviše jedinica rada te ujedno ima najviše ukupne prihode, ukupne troškove i troškove biljne proizvodnje. Najviši trošak biljne zaštite zabilježen je kod uzgoja različitih usjeva na oranicama, dok je najniži kod tipa maslinarstvo, što je u skladu i s europskim podacima. Ipak, kada se gleda udio troška biljne zaštite u ukupnim troškovima proizvodnje izdvaja se tip voćarstvo, što je i očekivano jer suvremeni voćarski nasadi zahtijevaju velika ulaganja u zaštitu od mraza i tuče uz standardnu biljnu zaštitu. Ako se gleda udio troška biljne zaštite u ukupnom prihodu on je opet najviši kod voćarskih gospodarstava koja ujedno ostvaruju i najmanje ukupne prihode od analiziranih tipova, a najniži je kod maslinarskog tipa.
