Fifty years of the onion production in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina

Abstract

The onion in Vojvodina occupies on average 6,669 ha, which is 0.43% of plough land of Province. With average yield of 8.0 t/ha about 54,000 tons of onion has been produced in Vojvodina in last ten years (1996-2005). The total production has been decreased. That is a consequence of areas decreasing (growth rate-2.29%), since yields are characterized by modest positive trend (growth rate 0.94%). The share of small agricultural households’ production in total production is 92%. Thus, characteristics of these households have to be taken into account in order to improve this production.

Proizvodnja crnog luka se u Vojvodini organizuje u proseku na 6.669 ha, što zauzima 0,43% oranica. U poslednjih deset godina (1996-2005) uz prosečan prinos od 8,0 t/ha u Vojvodini se proizvede nešto manje od 54.000 tona crnog luka. Ukupna proizvodnja se smanjuje kao rezultat opadanja površina (stopa-2,29%) jer prinose karakteriše blagi trend porasta (stopa 0,94%). Dominantno učešće u ukupnoj proizvodnji imaju seljačka gazdinstva (92%) stoga je neophodno uvažavati njihove specifičnosti u cilju daljeg unapređenja ove proizvodnje.
