Investigation of Impact of Main Economic Environment Factors on the Grafted Hazelnut Seedlings

V. MANOLOVA, M. NIKOLOVA

Abstract: The influence of basic factors of economic environment on the production results on the grafted hazelnut seedlings was investigated. It is assumed that the price of seedlings, discount factor and labour costs (production of grafted seedlings is labour intensive) have the greatest impact on the financial results of production. To assess the technological solution the indicator Net present value and data from experiment conducted in the period 1991 – 1998 in Complex Experimental Station – Kargajali were used. The financial result was calculated under the change in the level of the investigated factors in the economic environment, which are respectively for seedlings: 6, 10, 15 и 20 BGN/tree; for discount factor 5, 10, 15, 20% and for labour costs: 15, 18, 20, 25 BGN/day, and grafting was calculated respectively: 1, 20, 1, 80, 2, 00 и 2, 20 BGN/tree. To facilitate comparison, studied factors and indicators NPV were calculated in dollars and euros at the following exchange rate: USD/BGN 1,612790 and EUR/BGN 1, 95583. The analysis of the results confirmed the hypothesis that selected factors substantially affect the final effect for the manufacturer and allow taking adequate management decisions depending on the economic situation.
