ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF CAULIFLOWER PRODUCTION

FERENCZ ÁRPÁD, ZSUZSANNA DEÁK ÁRPÁD

Abstract


Our work focuses on one of Hungary’s most promising vegetable, the cauliflower. We analyze the state of the art production technology, its cost and the sustaining capability of the plant. We have reviewed the operational costs of crop production and the production cost structure. Revenue from cauliflower production is determined based on quality, date of sales and marketability. We calculated the profitability of cultivation and indicators of production effectiveness with and without EU aid. In our calculations we took into account the characteristics of gross income pertaining to small-scale production. It can be concluded that with appropriate technology open field cauliflower production in Hungary can generate substantial income even without EU support.
