The high rate of the stagnosols and gleysols in the East Slovak Lowland substantially influences the potential utilisation of the existing agro-ecosystems. We determined the possible structural, productive and economic parameters of the soil representatives in the East Slovak Lowland, its districts and soil-ecological regions with the help of geographic informative systems. Almost 47% of the soils are not profitable for the plant growing without subsidies. The cost benefit analysis shows that for 10,227 SKK of average investment per 1 ha of agricultural soil the expected yield is 10,295 SKK/ha, which means a profit of 68 SKK/ha (profitability rate 0.67%, without any subsidies). The best natural and economic results in plant production can be expected in the Michalovce and Trebisov districts and the soil-ecological regions of Ondava flatland, Laborec flatland and Kapusany welds.
