Description
Summary:Grapevine belongs to the group of essential agro-food products. Moreover, through the presence of autochthonous varieties it could bear the part of cultural and ethnic identity of certain nation or local community. The main goal of the paper is to assess if there is general economic competitiveness for the farm contained in growing autochthonous (local) contrary to widely recognized international grapevine varieties with the purpose of producing white wines. Method used implies calculation of contribution margin, and determination of critical values in grapevine production. Analyzed data set was gained from the producer located in the Tri Morave wine-growing region (PDO), Trstenik winegrowing subregion in central Serbia. Gained results showed that in circumstances of growing demand of white wine better economic competitiveness could be derived from autochthonous (local) than international variety growing. Obtained results could be used in popularization of autochthonous and regional varieties growing at national level.
