Cost and profit analysis of sour cherry production for industrial purposes in Hungary

Abstract

Our main objective in this present study is to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of sour cherry production by a complex economic analysis of its technological process. We concluded that the per kilogram prime costs range between 80 to 90 HUF/kg in case of sour cherry for industrial purposes. On this basis, it is clear that the 50 to 90 HUF/kg regular selling prices of previous years do not make profitable production possible. Under the present market conditions even considering per hectare average yields of 10 to 15 tons the establishment of sour cherry orchards is not economical, the internal rate of return is below the interests of money-market and the recovery will not be happened even during the whole life-time of the orchard. In this way the domestic enterprises should not only raise the yields but realize technological changes (e.g. mechanic harvesting) in order to decrease the production costs in a significant way and to maintain a profitable sour cherry production. It is expected that the enterprise farming on great land (several ten hectares), being settled for mechanic harvesting (subordinating everything to this), reaching yields of 15 to 20 tons per hectare, producing on high technological and input levels, having specialized knowledge will stay on the sour cherry market far in the future.

Operating Results of Silage Enterprise of a Farm - A Case Study

“…In addition to the base fertilizers, top fertilizers were also applied in a differentiated and positioned manner in several rounds in the years of experiment. Collected data came from production technology and enterprise management data for the years 2019-2022, in order to evaluate the efficiency of production by a complex economic approach of its technological process (APÁTI et al 2010;SULYOK et al 2013;ZHANG -KOVACS, 2012). Recording the material costs, machinery costs, labour costs and other direct costs, the sectoral cost-income analysis was carried out for silage cultivation technology variants.…”

Management issues of cropping with sorghum in the production structure - a case study of Hungary

“…In the course of our analytical work, we defined a farm of 2100 hectares, for which we examined crop production, crop machinery and economic aspects. We based our data on cultivation technology and enterprise management data for the years 2019-2021, in order to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of production by a complex economic analysis of its technological process (APÁTI et al 2010;SULYOK et al 2013). Efficiency can be measured in different ways, with different levels of indicators (NÁBRÁDI et al, 2008).…”

Hajdú-Bihar megyei sportvállalkozások likviditási helyzete

“…Ezek alapján a sportszektor olyan iparág, ahol gazdasági társaságok és civil szervezetek sporttevékenység céljából hoznak létre sportterméket és -szolgáltatást, továbbá a szervezetek jellegéből adódóan lehetnek for-vagy nonprofit céllal működőek. Az iparági elemzés olyan módszer, ami a vezetés számára információt nyújt egyrészt a rendszer egészének működéséről, másrészt a rendszer egyes elemeinek (pl: beszerzési, termelési, fejlesztési tevékenységek) módszeres vizsgálatáról (Nábrádi et al, 2008;Apáti et al, 2010). Tehát ezen elemzés során komplex képet mutatunk be az ágazat főbb jellemzőiről, jelen lévő és várható trendekről, ágazati szereplőkről és a közöttük megjelenő versenyről, valamint a főbb piaci részesedésekről és lehetőségekről (Szűcs et al, 2014).…”
