Importance and analysis of setting up and operational costs of ULO cold storage facility for fruits

Abstract

Small agricultural producers have a very important role in production and trading of fruits. Due to low buying and selling prices, as well as strong competitiveness they had to find the way to preserve and sell their products at the moment when it is possible to achieve the highest selling prices on the market. In order to provide long-term preservation and good quality of fruits until the moment of placing on the market they decided to set up ULO cold storage facility. The paper presents construction costs of ULO cold storage facility on the example of the cooperative 'Slankamenka' from Slankamen, as well as the advantages of this kind of cold storage in comparison to classical kind of cold storage facility for fruits preservation.

Mali poljoprivredni proizvođači imaju značajnu ulogu u proizvodnji i prometu voća. Zbog niskih otkupnih i prodajnih cena, kao i zbog velike konkurencije oni su morali naći način da svoje proizvode sačuvaju i prodaju u momentu kada mogu da postignu najviše prodajne cene na tržištu. Da bi obezbedili dugotrajno i kvalitetno čuvanje plodova voća sve do momenta plasmana na tržište pristupili su izgradnji ULO hladnjače. U radu je dat prikaz troškova podizanja ULO hladnjače na primeru zadruge 'Slankamenka' iz Slankamena, kao i prednosti ove vrste u odnosu na klasičan tip hladnjača za čuvanje voća.
