Organization and economics of spicy pepper production at the Varga Tatjana family farm

Analizom rezultata proizvodnje začinske paprike na OPG-u Varga Tatjana na površini od 5.000 m2 utvrđeno je da je proizvodnja začinske paprike vrlo profitabilna. Za sjetvu je korištena sorta slatke začinske paprike Bolero F1 i Palotás F1, te ljute sorte začinske paprike Jubileum F1 i Szikra F1. Sjetva je obavljena 07. ožujka u stiroporske plitice za proizvodnju presadnica koje su se grijale u plasteniku. Presađivanje u polje obavljalo se 21.svibnja. Berba se obavljala ručno u više navrata. Prva berba obavljena je 21. kolovoza, a brali su se samo zdravi plodovi tamno crvene boje. Nakon berbe paprika je 8 dana stajala u predsušari na dozrijevanju. Mljevena je posebnim kamenim mlinom. Ukupno je dobiveno 1.250 kg mljevene začinske paprike. Uzgoj paprike putem presadnica definitivno je najsigurniji način uzgoja te ostvaruje i najveću dobit. Ostvarena je dobit od 21.087,24 kn ha-1 uz koeficijent ekonomičnosti od 1,47. Na 100 kn uloženih u proizvodnju ostvareno je 47,37 kn dobiti. Ovakav odnos dovodi do zaključka kako je proizvodnja začinske paprike ekonomski potpuno opravdana.The analysis of the results of the production of paprika on the Varga Tatjana family farm on an area of 5,000 m2 showed that the production of paprika is very profitable. The varieties of sweet paprika Bolero F1 and Palotás F1, and hot varieties of spicy paprika Jubileum F1 and Szikra F1 were used for planting. Planting was done on March 7 in styrofoam trays for the production of seedlings that were heated in a greenhouse. Transplanting into the field was done on May 21st. Harvesting was done manually on several occasions. The first harvest was done on August 21, and only healthy dark red fruits were picked. After harvesting, the paprika stood in the pre-dryer for 8 days. It is ground with a special stone mill. A total of 1,250 kg of ground paprika was obtained. Growing paprika through seedlings is definitely the safest way of growing and makes the most profit. A profit of HRK 21,087.24 ha-1 was achieved with an economy coefficient of 1.47. On HRK 100 invested in production, a profit of HRK 47.37 was realized. This relationship leads to the conclusion that the production of paprika is economically completely justified
