The comparison of natural and value indicators of cereals in the Slovak Republic in accession period to European Union

摘要

Cereals have a?significant position in land farming in Slovakia. Important commodities are wheat, barley and maize. In the years 1999–2000, a?research showed that Slovakia’s natural production was lagging behind the developed countries of the EU. Extraordinary low yields were recorded in the economic year 2000/2001 due to drought during the vegetation period. In this paper, there are analyzed the production prices, costs, cereals efficiency and profitability costs. We have also calculated the break-even point in yields, in costs and in production prices of cereals. In addition, we have done some suggestions and recommendations on how to analyze the results.
