Bioenergy and economic efficiency of improving elements and normative technologies of growing rare vegetable crops

Abstract

Purpose. Definition of the main problems of the development of rare vegetable crops production; analysis of the effect of the technology of growing rare vegetable crops on the economic efficiency of their production.Methods. General scientific methods: abstract-logical method for systematization of the available theoretical data; induction and deduction method to define the general principles for the analysis of facts; synthesis method for combining elements of the investigated system and its analysis in general; comparison method to evaluate obtained economic indicators; methodological approaches and statistical data to evaluate food security.Results. The analysis of the main technological factors on the efficiency of the production of rare vegetable crops is analysed. We defined the main problems affecting the efficiency of rare vegetable crops production. They include lack of necessary capacities for processing and storage of rare vegetable crops, unsatisfactory technology of growing, small volumes of commodity products of rare vegetable crops, lack of professional branding, lack of effective infrastructure, undeveloped agro-logistics, mismatch of the domestic and European standards in vegetable production, lack of procurement and sales cooperatives network.Conclusions. Based on the market monitoring of rare vegetable plants, analysis of the State Register of Plant Varieties Suitable for Distribution in Ukraine and experimental research, we theoretically substantiated, developed and summarized the ways to increase yield, biochemical composition and quality of products, which will positively affect the economic efficiency of growing rare vegetable crops.
