Investing the gross margin from various agricultural activities in milk production

Na osnovi naših prijašnjih istraživanja ustanovljeni su čimbenici ograničavanja razvoja govedarske proizvodnje. Razvoj će usporavati sadašnja usitnjenost gospodarstava i velik kapital koji je potreban za njihovo povećanje i opremanje, pa i za veću proizvodnost rada. Istražujući te probleme, uočili smo da specijalizirana gospodarstva za proizvodnju mlijeka i krumpira na otkupnom području Mljekarske industrije "Zdenka", Veliki Zdenci ostvaruju, za prilike u Hrvatskoj, vrlo visok ukupan prihod. Analizirana su dva takva gospodarstva i njihovi prihodi od mlijeka i krumpira, te je ustanovljeno da ta gospodarstva mogu vlastitim sredstvima povećati i proizvodnju mlijeka i broj krava.Factors limiting development in cattle production were established based on results of earlier investigations. The development will be slowed down due to present-day farms fragmentation and great investments needed to achieve their increase in size and equipment supply and thereby including labour productivity increase. Investigating mentioned problems it was noted that specialized farms producing milk and potatoes in the area of Dairy industry »Zdenka« realized very high gross income with regard to the circumstances in Croatia. It was established that two analyzed private farms realizing income owing to milk and potato production can increase milk production and cows\u27 number having recours to their proper means
