Monitoring production costs of the plant species in Emilia-Romagna

CRPV (Crop Production Research Center) is a cooperative company that aggregates many of today's economic organizations operating on the market, on behalf of most of the farms with the address of crop production.

Intercepts and organizes their needs for research and experimentation, it makes synthesis and on their behalf prepares projects to be presented at various levels, regional, national and international.

It interacts with the scientific world for the realization of assets and maintains a high level in the experiment conducted by the experimental farms of the area, partially directly connected to CRPV, as the ASTRA Innovation Center.

The various macro areas of activity are organized by sectors such as horticulture, fruit growing, viticulture and olive trees, arable crops, agro-energy and for areas that are horizontal importance to all crop production (from fresh and processed) as integrated production, organic farming, the quality, the custodial management, the technical disclosure and the economy of the cultivation process.

The latter context, that of the production costs of agricultural crops is a subject which attracts and fascinates at the same time provokes discussions even stronger when it is associated to the evaluation on the profitability of farms. For this reason, in the wake of the productive world.

CRPV has developed a method of analysis that focuses on the technical structures of the member, through the establishment of various working groups comprising experts who provide their skills, to share the definition of specific crop types.

In fact, from any point of view or the baseline starts calculating the cost of cultivation, hardly anyone recognizes exactly those numbers. This is because every farm, for each start cultivation culture has its own "corporate structure", its production processes, their own organization, including labor, etc. For these reasons, the strong differentiation of each individual business case even on the same culture, we chose to take care of only the cultivation costs calculated per hectare and let each individual farmer to assess, in relation to the revenues earned from the market, its specific profitability . That specification and the average farm cultivation.

We add that the availability of specific software for the associates, managed via the web, with which every farmer, or other interested person, to calculate for their crops, in a personal and specific costs of cultivation, closes the circle of possibilities study interaction with the topic.
