Abstract

For the majority of family agricultural holdings (FAH) is characteristic the high share of costs of using their own agricultural mechanization in overall production costs, as well as its low technical and excessive time utilization, resulting the high products’ cost price. Aiming to reduce the share of costs of using the FAH’s own mechanization within the total costs of production, as to promote the use of modern mechanization of the agricultural cooperative (AC), there are performed the analysis of economic effects of AC’s mechanization use in production activities at FAH. The analysis has been focused on four lines of crop production (wheat, corn, sunflower, and soybean) organized at the FAH on 13.4 ha and at the AC on 2,800 ha of utilized agricultural area (UAA). Analysis involves analytical calculations by production lines, then differential calculations due to different way of mechanization use by FAH, as well as an assessment of the economic effectiveness of investment in mechanization. According to gained results (in line to all economic indicators), for FAH which disposes with 13.40 ha of UAA it is more profitable to use the services of mechanization provided by AC than to invest in purchasing of its own mechanization (tractor + combine harvester ≥ 350,000 EUR).
