Abstract
Slovene agricultural producers will be able to integrate into the European and World agricultural markets only when the quality of their products is expected to comply with the high standards of international food market. The permanent quality cannot be achieved by technology transformation only; it must be the result of the own research work and the successful application of the research results into the practice.
This is why the proposed research programme includes all relevant research areas to transform conventional agricultural production into biological and ecological types of production which must also be market competitive and should hence bring sound economic returns. The research programme entails:
-research and introduction of integrated and ecological fruit, field crop and vegetable production,
-development of analytical methods in order to simulate optimal production models,
-research of the biological diversity, adaptibility and marketing potential of the alternative and »forgotten & oblivious« crops,
-specification, estimation and evaluation of the econometric models on the product and factor markets,
-development of methods in order to examine all important economic occurrences on the agricultural markets,
-simulation of expected impacts during the period of accession to EU,
-exploring the competitive potential of various technical procedures and production techniques that resulted from our research expertise,
-comparing prevailing domestic and international legislature concerning the production standards.
The most important empirical findings of our research group so far have been:
-standard determination, implementation and control of integrated fruit production
-coordination, standard determination, implementation of integrated viticulture
-improvement of pesticide application technique and therefore smaller usage of pesticides
-research of mechanical weed management
-development of new methods of animal food production
-implementation of organic farming
-research of alternative crops
-introduction of new varieties of corn and cereals
The econometric analysis of market supply (Kalman filter) and demand (LA/AIDS) for food was also conducted which showed different reactions of Slovene farmers and consumers to price changes (effects of demographic factors, different consumption patterns through different tastes and preferences during transitional period, etc.). Econometric modelling has been complemented with the application of PAM analysis which reflects the extent of governmental interventions on the performance and efficiency of given agricultural production orientation.
