“…The optimal use of production factors in relation to productivity and economic efficiency of the agricultural entities as well as their determinants are examined by a number of domestic and foreign authors in many published scientific studies (Kalirajan and Shand 2001;Rosochatecká 2002;Juřica et al 2004;Covaci and Sojková 2006;Dinar et al 2007;Sojková et al 2008;Papoušek 2011;Střeleček et al 2011;Chrastinová and Burianová 2012).…”

“…This fact significantly affects the production orientation as well as the production efficiency. On the basis of soil and climatic conditions such as the categories of soil, soil type, soil depth, granularity, altitude, the exposure of soil blocks, as well as the climatic conditions (the average annual temperature, the annual rainfall, wind) and many others, the Slovak territory is divided into the areas with better natural conditions (productive areas) and the areas with worse natural conditions (less favoured areas) (Chrastinová and Burianová 2012;Buday and Vilček 2013).…”

Th e scientifi c contribution builds on the previous scientifi c studies analysing the determinants of productivity and economic effi ciency of the agricultural entities and extends the knowledge of the spatial econometrics area at the NUTS IV level (at the district level) for the reporting period. Th e paper aimed to assess the development of productivity and economic effi ciency of the agricultural entities in the reporting period based on the synthetic evaluation of the selected economic indicators by the methods of cluster analysis, and so to create a spatial map according to the regional diff erentiation at the NUTS IV level. On the basis of the completed analysis, we can conclude that the natural and climatic conditions have a dominant infl uence on the achievable productivity and economic effi ciency of the agricultural entities in ensuring the sustainability of the economic performance of agriculture in diff erent regions of Slovakia. On the basis of conducting the analysis, there were clearly defi ned two relatively coherent areas in Slovakia (at the district level), which are characterized by diff erences in the achieved production indicators and allow the regional diff erentiation of Slovakia into districts with more and less prosperous agricultural enterprises.

“…Rozličný charakter činností v rámci poľnohospodárskeho podniku (rastlinná a živočíšna výroba) spôsobuje rozdiely v názve kalkulačných položiek. Z tohto dôvodu je napríklad v rámci položky spotreba priameho materiálu konkretizovaná spotreba krmív a stelív v živočíšnej výrobe a spotreba osív a hnojív v rastlinnej výrobe (Rajčániová, 2007;Bielik, 2006;Chrastinová a Burianová, 2012). Pre kvalifikované vyčíslenie vlastných nákladov v poľnohospodárskej výrobe je potrebné zabezpečiť tieto naturálne údaje: spotreba osív a sadív na jednotlivé plodiny, spotreba krmív podľa druhov za jednotlivé kategórie zvierat, spotreba vyrobených (organických) a priemyselných hnojív na jednotlivé plodiny, naturálna výroba a predaj jednotlivých výrobkov a zvierat, obraty jednotlivých kategórií zvierat a odpracované hodiny (Burianová, 2011).…”

“…Vlastné krmivá (objemové a jadrové) sa oceňujú vlastnými nákladmi, resp. výrobnými nákladmi a ich úroveň výrazne ovplyvňuje efektívnosť výroby živočíšnych komodít (Chrastinová a Burianová, 2012). Prijímanie pastvy v chove oviec z príležitostnej paše by nemalo byť do vlastných nákladov zakalkulované, pretože zvyšky po zbere plodín nedokážu zužitkovať iné druhy zvierat (Vláčil, 1997).…”

The objective of this work was to synthesise and analyse the methodologies and the biological aspects of the costs calculation in ruminants in Slovakia. According to literature, the account classification of cost items is most often considered for construction of costing formula. The costs are mostly divided into fixed (costs independent from volume of herd's production) and variable ones (costs connected with improvement of breeding conditions). Cost for feeds and beddings, labour costs, other direct costs and depreciations were found as the most important cost items in ruminants. It can be assumed that including the depreciations into costs of the basic herd takes into consideration the real costs simultaneously invested into raising of young animals in the given period. Costs are calculated for the unit of the main and by-products and their classification is influenced mainly by the type of livestock and production system. In dairy cows is usually milk defined as the main product, and byproducts are live born calf and manure. The base calculation unit is kilogram of milk (basic herd of cows) and kilogram of gain and kilogram of live weight (young breeding cattle). In suckler cows is a live-born calf the main product and manure is the by-product. The costs are mostly calculated per suckler cow, live-born calf and per kilogram of live weight of weaned calf. Similar division of products into main and by-products is also in cost calculation for sheep categories. The difference is that clotted cheese is also considered as the main product of basic herd in dairy sheep and greasy wool as the by-products in all categories. Definition of the base calculation units in sheep categories followed the mentioned classification. The value of a by-product in cattle and sheep is usually set according to its quantity and intraplant price of the by-product. In the calculation of the costs for sheep and cattle the "structural ewe" and "structural cow" proportionally integrate the costs of other categories of the herd into the costs of the basic herd. Subtraction, allocation and combined calculation methods of costs are the most used in breeding of ruminants. It is recommended to consider specific breeding conditions and objective calculation of costs for the relevant category, when picking out the method of calculation.

“…The Slovak agriculture is characterised by the differentiation in the achieved economic results in terms of the size of agricultural enterprises measured by the number of employees; the agricultural land area; the legal form of enterprises; and natural conditions (Chrastinová and Burianová 2012).…”

Raw cow milk represents one of the most important commodity in the agricultural market. Th e Slovak agro-food foreign trade is characterized by a substantial increase in the commodity trade, monitoring of competitiveness is therefore very important. Th e aim of the article was to evaluate the current situation of breeding processes in the cattle production with focus to the raw cow milk production and dairy products; and to compare the competitiveness of the domestic supply with the EU-27 countries. To quantify the evaluation of competitiveness, mathematical and statistical methods were used. Indicators of the exposed comparative advantage (RCA); the competitiveness growth index (RCA 1); the net trade performance index (RCA 2); the indicator of relative import penetration (RMA); the indicator of relative export advantages (RXA); and the indicator of relative business advantages (RTA) were calculated. Th e research of the foreign trade competitiveness parameters of the aggregated group Milk (RCA, RCA 1, RCA 2, RMA, RXA; and RTA) showed that the Slovak Republic has a comparative advantage among the EU-27 countries in the commodity 0401 (milk and cream, not concentrated or containing added sugar or other sweeteners), in all other monitored commodities, a comparative disadvantage was determined. Based on the research, the ideas and recommendations for the agricultural policy and for the milk processors were formulated.
