Abstract

The paper aims to evaluate the economic situation of Czech farms since the EU accession and to identify the impact that the farm size has on economic indicators. The analysis was based on our own database of farms sorted according to the acreage of utilised agricultural land. The analysis focuses on the structure of production, production indicators, asset and capital structure, profitability and cost ratios, the efficiency of production factors, financial stability and financial health. The profitability is characterised by significant fluctuations, with the largest decline in 2009. The company's financial health has a growing trend in all size groups although the average farm did not get out of the grey zone. Dependence on subsidies is growing; subsidies per hectare of utilised agricultural area are growing over time and towards a declining farm size. Trends are similar for all farm size groups; however, in some indicators, the smallest average farm differs. The share of fixed assets is the lowest, and the turnover rate of fixed assets increases. It is the only group with no significant decline in the workforce, and the share of leased land is also the highest. The development of profitability and financial health does not indicate significant differences affected by the size of the farm.
农场规模在生产效率中的作用:加入欧盟以来捷克农场的评估
本文旨在评估自加入欧盟以来捷克农场的经济状况,并确定农场规模对经济指标的影响。这一分析是基于我们自己的农场数据库,根据利用的农业用地面积进行分类。分析的重点是生产结构、生产指标、资产和资本结构、盈利能力和成本比率、生产要素效率、财务稳定和财务健康。盈利能力波动较大,2009年降幅最大。公司的财务健康状况在所有规模的集团中都有增长的趋势,尽管普通农场没有走出灰色地带。对补贴的依赖日益增加;每公顷农业利用面积的补贴随着时间的推移而增加,并朝着农场规模下降的方向发展。所有农场规模集团的趋势都是相似的;然而,在一些指标中,最小的平均农场有所不同。固定资产占比最低,固定资产周转率上升。这是唯一一个劳动力数量没有明显下降的群体,而且租赁土地的比例也是最高的。盈利能力和财务状况的发展并未显示受农场规模影响的显著差异。

期刊介绍: The Eastern Journal of European Studies (EJES) seeks to provide a forum for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary dialogue between ideas, and a framework for theoretical and empirical analyses covering major topics in European studies: European history, politics, European economy and European policies, EU community law, European culture and society. EJES encourages studies focusing on Central and Eastern Europe (including Eastern Neighbourhood) in order to better understand its transformations induced by the integration process and to address its specific challenges by supporting scientific debates on the general European theory and practice. Furthermore, the editorial board regularly invites distinguished guest editors to coordinate thematic issues.
