Petcu, Victor | Popescu, Gabriel | Todirică, Ioana Claudia
Chemical fertilizers costs intensified worldwide from 2019 to 2022 due to the gas price crisis. Also the climate change affects crops susceptibility and response to applied synthetic inputs in conventional agriculture. Farmers are returning to agroecological measures and shifting to organic agriculture. In both agricultural systems seed producing is adding value to the final product. This study case aims to analyze the production cost and income on winter wheat (Glosa variety – used by over 60% of Romanian farmers), for certified seed in organic agriculture system. The used data are from applied technol ogy in experimental and seed production fields of National Agricultural Re search and Development Institute Fundulea, Calarasi County, Romania. The production costs are influenced by manual operations and fuel price. Seed production in organic agriculture, even if generated an income of 476.05 €/ ha, for this study case in 2022, is not economical viable without organic farm ing subsidies in all situations.
