ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:

The area of Western Serbia has the highest average production of raspberries and a long tradition and is also recognizable for the quality and export of raspberries. On the family farms of this hilly and mountainous area, raspberry production takes place in small areas with a large labour participation. The research aims to show the production on the average family farm through economic analysis and solve the problem of labour shortage by producing raspberries in an area of 0.2 ha. Based on real data from several such farms, the most important economic parameters were calculated and shown in the calculation of raspberry production. The gross margin with the average raspberry purchase price of €1.8 was €1,300. By calculating the critical values of prices, yields and variable costs, as well as based on a sensitive analysis of the gross margin, the risks and profitability of investing in raspberry plantations were indicated.
