Abstract

Pandemija COVID-19 te ruska ratna agresija na Ukrajinu uvelike su utjecali na kretanje cijena poljoprivrednih inputa. Poljoprivredni inputi osiguravaju proizvodnju hrane za ljude i životinje. Sa nedostatkom poljoprivrednih inputa na svjetskoj razini smanjuje se mogući urod poljoprivrednih kultura što posljedično dovodi do više razine cijena poljoprivrednih proizvoda te još kritičnije smanjene količine poljoprivrednih proizvoda. Počevši s pandemijom COVID-19, došlo je do ograničenja kretanja stanovništva s ciljem smanjenja širenja virusa. SA ograničavanjem kretanja stanovništva došlo je do smanjenja cijena poljoprivrednih inputa. Poljoprivrednici koji su imali osiguran plasman svojih proizvoda na tržište su prosperirali od takvog stanja, Većinski se to odnosi na primarne proizvođače žitarica. Sa dolaskom 2022. godine povećava se stanje nesigurnosti na istoku Europe u Ukrajini. Zaoštravanje sukoba između Rusije i Ukrajine dovelo je do uvođenja međusobnih sankcija Europske Unije te Rusije. Rusija je jedan od najvećih svjetskih proizvođača goriva te Ukrajina je jedan od najvećih svjetskih proizvođača žitarica. Trenutna kretanja na tržištu pogađaju cijene poljoprivrednih inputa više nego pandemija COVID-19. Cijene inputa višestruko su porasle te pod tim cijenama poljoprivredna proizvodnja bilježi velike gubitke. S manjom proizvodnjom cijene poljoprivrednih proizvoda će rasti zbog manjih količina dostupnih na tržištu te se ulazi u vrtlog iz kojeg će se izvući. Kriza na tržištu najprije će osjetiti mala poljoprivredna gospodarstva koja nemaju dostupne mehanizme obrane od rizika cijena inputa na tržištu. S prestankom proizvodnje malih obiteljskih gospodarstava dolazi proces napuštanja sela te ruralnih područja.

Abstract (english)

COVID- 19 pandemic and Russian military aggression against Ukraine greatly affected the
price movement of agricultural inputs. Agricultural inputs secure the production of human and
animal food. With the lack of agricultural inputs worldwide, harvest values of different crops
are reduced and that consequently leads to a higher level of prices of agricultural products. It
also leads to critically reduced quantity of agricultural products. Starting with the COVID-19
pandemic restrictions have been made to reduce the movement of the population in order to
control virus spreading. With the restriction of the people movement, there was a drop in fuel
prices and the cost of production of the mineral fertilizers. Such situation on the market led to
a decrease in the prices of agricultural inputs. Farmers who had secured the placement of their
products on the market prospered from such a situation. This mostly affects the primary
producers of cereals. With the arrival of 2022. state of insecurity in Eastern Europe in Ukraine
increases drastically. The escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine led to the
introduction of mutual sanctions by the European Union and Russia. Russia is one of the
world's largest fuel producers and Ukraine is of the world's largest grain producers. Current
market trends are affecting agricultural input prices more than the COVID-19 pandemic. The
prices of inputs have increased multiple times and at current prices, agricultural production
suffers great losses. With less production, prices of agricultural products will rise due to smaller
quantities available on the market and the market is entering a vortex. Market crisis will firstly
be felt by small family farms that do not have available defense mechanisms against the risk
of input prices on the market. Stop of production on small family farms will lead to the process
of leaving villages and rural areas.
