Comparative evaluation of the economic efficiency of the rapeseed cultivation by the traditional method and using the principles of organic production

Abstract

The possibility of applying the principles of organic farming in the cultivation of spring rape is considered in the article. The adoption of the Federal law “On organic products and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation” contributed to the creation of an effective mechanism for the production and sale of organic products in accordance with international standards and the orientation of the export potential of culture not only to the APEC countries, but also to the EU countries. Based on the analysis of the existing legislation in the field of organic production of agricultural crops and the used technologies, as well as taking into account the requirements for organic production and products, production and auxiliary processes of organic agricultural production in the cultivation of spring rape were developed. The agrotechnological plan of spring rape cultivation on organic technology in the conditions of Krasnoyarsk territory was developed, and then technological maps of production of oilseeds on traditional technology and organic were developed. The comparative evaluation of two technologies was carried out; economic indicators of efficiency are calculated. The calculations showed that due to the increase in the number of seeding-down treatments, the cost of production by organic technology is 8.4% higher than in technologies with the use of chemical means of protection. Due to the high selling price, which is more by 14.9 %, the profitability of rapeseed production by organic technology increased by 16% compared to traditional.
