      abstract = {This study examines the
financial and economic  viability
of producing commercial
tomatoes for the fresh  market in
Georgia. Historical data on
yields, prices  received by
growers, and actual production
input prices  were collected and
used to develop an enterprise
budget.  Specifically, the study
was aimed at analyzing  profit
margins and break-even
conditions, and presents  various
operating scenarios under a
risk-rated return  framework.
Analysis of enterprise cost and
return estimates  indicated that
commercial tomato production
is a lucrative  business enterprise
worth investing.The result will
be  useful to Georgia and the
neighboring southeast  and
deep-south states that adopt
similar agricultural  production
practices.},
