Impact of some agricultural policy measures on economic position of dairy producers

U radu je, prema podatcima iz anketnog praćenja proizvodnih i ekonomskih rezultata odabranih obiteljskih gospodarstava te podataka LURA d.d., ocijenjen gospodarski položaj proizvođača mlijeka u razdoblju od 2000. do 2002. godine. Osnovni elementi ocjene gospodarskog položaja proizvođača mlijeka su ostvareni prihodi, dohodak i dobitak po muznom grlu i gospodarstvu. Posebno je analiziran utjecaj nekih važnijih mjera državne potpore, kao što su poticaji za mlijeko i umatičena grla te uzgoj krmnog bilja, na dohodak proizvođača. Isto tako, ispitani su utjecaji povlaštenih kreditnih linija za okrupnjavanje posjeda, nabavu muznih grla, muzne opreme i izgradnju objekata farme. S obzirom na postojeću strukturu naših proizvođača mlijeka ispitivana su gospodarstva s različitim razinama godišnje proizvodnje (od 10 tisuća do 50 tisuća litara) mlijeka. Velika odstupanja prihoda, dohotka i dobitka mlijeka po muznom grlu u ispitivanim gospodarstvima upućuju na zaključak o neiskorištenim financijskim učincima od poticaja u proizvodnji mlijeka za veći dio relativno malih proizvođača.In this paper we used data from survey of production and economic results of selected family farms and data from LURA d.d. (joint-stock company), to estimate economic position of dairy producers within the period 2000-2002. Basic elements used for the estimation of the economic position of dairy production were realized revenues, income and profit per dairy cow and per household (farm). The influence of some more important measures of agricultural state support, such as subsidies for milk and registered heads, as well as for fodder growing, on farmers\u27 income, was additionally analysed. Furthermore, the influences of favourable credit lines for the farm enlargement, purchase of dairy cows, dairy equipment and building the farm capacities were analysed as well. With regards to current structure of dairy producers in Croatia, we investigated family farms with different levels of annual production (from 10 thousand to 50 thousand lit. of milk). Great deviations of revenues, income and profit in milk production per dairy cow in investigated farms suggest that there are great un-used financial effects from subsidies in dairy production for the majority of rather small producers
