Abstract

The profitability of wild blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) production using two alternative mechanical harvesters was evaluated under three different harvester ownership/service arrangements commonly used by farmers. Production data for the economic analysis were obtained from on-farm trials conducted in Nova Scotia, Canada. Net returns were CAD$323 ha−1 using a semi-automatic bin handling system compared with CAD$281 ha−1 for a small box handling system with outright harvester purchase. By comparison, net returns were CAD$90 ha−1 using the semi-automatic bin handling system and CAD$63 ha−1 using the small box system using rental harvesting services. The results are more sensitive to changes in yield than price.
机械采收技术类型、收割机所有权及服务获取方式对野生蓝莓生产盈利能力的影响
在农民常用的三种不同的收割机所有权/服务安排下,评估了使用两种机械收割机生产野生蓝莓(Vaccinium angustifolium)的盈利能力。用于经济分析的生产数据来自加拿大新斯科舍省进行的农场试验。使用半自动仓搬运系统的净收益为323加元,而直接购买收割机的小箱搬运系统的净收益为281加元。相比之下,使用半自动仓处理系统的净收益为90加元,使用租赁收获服务的小箱系统的净收益为63加元。结果对收益率的变化比对价格的变化更敏感。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Fruit Science disseminates results of current research that are immediately applicable to the grower, extension agent, and educator in a useful, legitimate, and scientific format. The focus of the journal is on new technologies and innovative approaches to the management and marketing of all types of fruits. It provides practical and fundamental information necessary for the superior growth and quality of fruit crops. This journal examines fruit growing from a wide range of aspects, including: -genetics and breeding -pruning and training -entomology, plant pathology, and weed science -physiology and cultural practices -marketing and economics -fruit production, harvesting, and postharvest
