Economic substantiation of expediency of production of niche cultures

Abstract

The article presents a study which concerns the development of production of niche crops in conjunction with the development of animal husbandry. In particular, the expedience of introducing such a niche crop as horse beans (fodder) into the diet of pigs is substantiated on the example of a specific enterprise, typical for the agricultural sector of Ukraine. It is estimated that this will increase the efficiency of swine breeding product output and, indirectly, the efficiency of growing beans. Beside this, at the request of today regarding of the need to reduce the cost of agricultural production, a possible increase in economic efficiency of horse bean production at the expense of resources in accordance with the existing Technological maps of crops was simulated. It is estimated that by laying down production costs according to the technological map, it is possible to obtain increased yields, increased profits and profitability. It is substantiated that together the obtained results can be considered as a possible tool of balanced and complex development of agricultural production in the context of food security in the world.
