Abstract
There are several grassland products the economic values of those are unclear in
several cases. Besides demonstrating the social benefits of grassland products, the
objective of the present study is to present the value of their diverse forms of
utilization and their definitions in practice. The study groups marketable and nonmarketable
grass products and introduces a new category, the animal husbandry
value of grasses.
Besides several other factors, economists differ from researchers in other areas of
science since they are basically motivated by three issues: the first question they
always raise is: “What can it be used for?”, the second is: “What is it worth?” and
the third is: “How can it (its value) be determined?” All the answers to any further
questions are subordinated to these three ones.
