Economic monitoring of profitability and production costs related to precision farming and high mechanization farming systems

Obiettivi
Objectives

The objective of the plan is to develop a monitoring and comparison system regarding farming economic sustainability, based on the analysis of the typical production schemes of farms in Emilia-Romagna. Utilising a monitoring and benchmarking system for rapid and direct consultation is an opportunity for the agricultural sector to support farm strategic decisions regarding the introduction of innovation.

Activities

A system of monitoring of production costs of the main plant species linked to specific production techniques will be implemented, through the involvement of a considerable number of companies, technicians, researchers and sector experts. This study will be accompanied by an assessment of the financial cost of the most utilised agricultural machineries and some innovative equipment. The collected data will be made accessible through an online software, aimed to technical and economic benchmarking and usable by the stakeholders to support their investment decisions.

Pratice abstract
Description

Project Objectives: The objective of the plan is to develop a onitoring and comparison system regarding farming economic sustainability, based on the analisys of the typical production schemes of farms in Emilia-Romagna. Utilising a monitoring and benchmarking system for rapid and direct consultation is an opportunity for the agricultural sector to support farm strategic decisions regarding the introduction of innovation.
Summary Expected results: The data on the production costs of the main fruit, vegetable and arable crop species in Emilia-Romagna, completed by the operating costs of some innovative machines (precision farming and high mechanization systems), will be available by consulting an on-line software to benchmark the production costs. The software will allow users to carry out a benchmarking between of the enterprise production costs and the territorial ones calculated during the project. The cost results will also be a key part of the annual publication "Production costs of the main plant species in Emilia-Romagna", implemented up to about 40-50 cost cards.
Description of activities: a system of monitoring of production costs of the main plant species linked to specific production techniques will be implemented, through the involvement of a considerable number of companies, technicians, researchers and sector experts. This study will be accompanied by an assessment of the financial cost of the most utilised agricultural machineries and some innovative equipment. The collected data will be made accessible through an online software, aimed to technical and economic benchmarking and usable by the stakeholders to support their investment decisions.
