For this purpose, normative linear programming paradigm is applied, utilising its optimization potential. The model is tested and presented on vegetable farm level. Hence, the model provides optimal vegetable productions plan, taking into consideration relevant technological and resource limitations faced by the farm. The results are given in base scenario format and are compared with the optimum production plans within the alternative model scenarios. The optimal production structure in all scenarios indicates that the optimal solution is given on production of tomato, pepper, cabbage, carrot and bean, thus corresponding to the most frequent types of vegetables in the Macedonian agriculture. The optimal production plan also confirms the diversification as a characteristic of the Macedonian agriculture. The base scenario reveals a total net return over the variable costs of 17,924 € which is highest compared to other scenarios. The working capital available is a binding constraint in second and third scenario, where the optimal solution reveals that the land resource is not exhausted i.e. an arable land of about 3 ha remains. Furthermore, the analysis of the crop rotation reflects the seasonal character of the vegetable production. Gross margin sensitivity was examined using the working capital parameterisation. The model is quite flexible thus enabling different crop enterprises to be added additionally. 000139492 546__ $$aEnglish 000139492 650__ $$aFarm Management 000139492 6531_ $$alinear programming 000139492 6531_ $$avegetable farms 000139492 6531_ $$aproduction planning 000139492 700__ $$aJaneska Stamenkovska, Ivana 000139492 700__ $$aDimitrievski, Dragi 000139492 700__ $$aErjavec, Emil 000139492 700__ $$aZgajnar, Jaka 000139492 700__ $$aMartinovska-Stojcheska, Aleksandra 000139492 773__ $$d2012 000139492 8564_ $$9bd9cf334-048e-4ae6-9fb0-d5f535e00654$$s590850$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/139492/files/Janeska.pdf 000139492 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/139492 000139492 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:139492$$pGLOBAL_SET 000139492 912__ $$nSubmitted by Aleksandra Stojceska (sanims@gmail.com) on 2012-11-20T12:23:53Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Janeska.pdf: 590850 bytes, checksum: fcc8baeff3d024a088956f151eeb6b34 (MD5) 000139492 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2012-11-20T12:23:55Z (GMT).
