Evaluating the dynamics of grape production in UTA Gagauzia

Abstract

It is emphasized that viticulture in ATU Gagauzia is the most promising sector in agricultural production. An assessment of the dynamics of grape production in the autonomy makes it possible to determine the level of development of the industry, to reveal, to a certain extent, the existing shortcomings and to determine the ways of development. The purpose of the study is to propose a methodology for assessing the state of the dynamics of grape production, confirming its features on specific examples from practice. The object of the study are farms of all categories of ATU Gagauzia for 2012-2021. Evaluation of the dynamics of grape production includes average annual data on planting areas, gross harvest and yield, including for the first and second periods of research, as well as indicators of the stability of the industry. An example of assessing the production of grapes by a separate business entity using the percentile indicator is given. The calculation results are shown on the graphs for clarity. The proposed variant of assessing the state of grape cultivation in dynamics is quite simple and accessible, and therefore can be used by both practitioners and university students.
