“…Average annual air temperature in the lowlands and hilly lands is about 8-9°C and average annual precipitation is 450-550 mm (Hrnčiarová et al 2009). Hodonín is one of the most significant agricultural regions of the Czech Republic -besides the usual production of cereals and technical crops it also specializes in wine production (Svobodová et al 2014), which has a strong potential for tourism and recreation (Foret et al 2014). The largest sources of oil and natural gas in the Czech Republic can be found in the region, and areas around the towns of dubňany and kyjov are rich in lignite, which was mined from the beginning of 19th century until 2010.…”

The paper assesses the development of land use and a road network from 1836 to 2016 in the Hodonín region (Czech Republic). The aim of the article is to verify relationship between the road construction and land use changes in their vicinity. The intensity of land use change processes between adjacent periods was calculated at various distances from roads. ESRI’s geographic information systems and geostatistics were used. This helped in assessing significance of impact of road vicinity on land use changes. The time interval of periods for comparison varied between 25 and 80 years due to availability of historical sources. In each period about 20% of the region was affected by land use changes. After the roads were built, there was an increase in the intensity of land use changes in their vicinity. It has been proofed that presence of a road can be considered one of the driving forces of long-term land use changes in this region. This so-called technological driving force impacted mainly urbanisation and other anthropogenic processes, agricultural intensification and grassing. Its significance is gradually increasing due to urbanisation, industrialisation, motorization and the rising mobility. Our results from the Hodonín region indicate that urbanisation and other anthropogenic processes have the closest relationship with the distance from major roads.

“…Using the cluster index (CI) developed by Sternberg and Litzenberger (2004), Hoffmann et al (2017) discovered a random spatial distribution of German food processing industries. Exploring the spatio‐temporal trends of vineyards in the Czech Republic, Svobodova et al (2014) suggested ways to develop integrated planting and organic viticulture. Using data from the Office of Agricultural Economics, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives of Thailand, Saengseedam and Kantanantha (2017) proposed a spatio‐temporal model, which is effective for both rice and cassava yield forecasting.…”

Awareness of spatio‐temporal patterns in the fruit industry is important for planning planting structures and improving yield. Xinjiang is famous for its fruit because of their unique natural features. However, overall quality and yields lag behind international and national levels owing to technological and economic limitations. Using seven perennial fruits, this study investigated the spatio‐temporal features and trends in the Xinjiang fruit industry during the period 1988–2017. The best‐fitting regression models of fruit production, determined by Akaike's information criterion, revealed improvements over these years. Spatial autocorrelation and comparative advantage analyses revealed an expanding fruit industry in the south and east of Xinjiang and the fruit concentration in some areas revealed higher suitability than that in others. Natural conditions were the dominant factors affecting the suitability for fruit planting, whereas anthropological activities were the driving factors. Economic growth can promote yield efficiency when combined with better management, product composition, sort selection, and planting technologies.

“…Even though the Czech Republic (Czechia) is widely well-known for beer production and consumption, wine is also produced and consumed in the country. The most important input (crop) used for winemaking in the country are grapes, substantially grown in the South Moravian region (Žufan, 2004;Hejmalová and Šperková, 2011;Kučerová, 2014;Svobodová et al, 2014;Syrovátka et al, 2015). Prior to the Czechia joining the European Union (EU), there were high expectations that all facets of agricultural activities, such as grape production would be improved.…”

Grape is a major agrarian input for winemaking in the Czech Republic (Czechia). This contribution assesses the performance of grape production in Czechia. The country’s performance is compared with Slovakia and some major producing countries in the world. Using the OLS approach, the results show that area harvested, yields, farm gate price and wine export have a positive relationship with grape production in Czechia. The descriptive approach shows Czechia as a net importer of wine. Also, grape yields in Czechia and Slovakia have been below the EU and global averages. These two countries’ wine exports have been concentrated in few markets within the EU single market. There is a need for grape farmers in the countries to find ways to improve yield per hectare. Similarly, export promotion should be encouraged and diversified beyond the EU markets to reduce external demand volatility or shocks. Arguably, this measure may accelerate foreign earnings from grape and wine related export products in the country.
