Relations Between Input Efficiency and Financial Situation of Agricultural Companies

Abstract

The research defines the input efficiency and estimates relations between factors of efficiency and financial situation of agricultural companies. In 2005-2013, the input efficiency of agricultural companies was low which was illustrated by insufficient profitability. An increase in investments did not result in a substantial improvement in return on capital. It was stated that the highest impact on financial situation of companies had the labour factor, while capital and land factors were of lesseru importance. The efficiency of capital use was highly related to assets’ capacity of agricultural companies, although labor and land were strongly connected to sales revenue and operating profit.
