Abstract

The economic efficiency of tomato growing technology was analyzed, which made it possible to determine the most rational agrotechnical approaches to ensure high yields and optimal use of resources in the Vinnytsia region. The article presents the results of a two-year study (2024–2025) on the economic assessment of tomato seedling growing technologies under greenhouse conditions at the Educational and Scientific Institute of Agrotechnologies and Environmental Management of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. The aim of the work was to conduct a comprehensive economic assessment of tomato growing technologies under greenhouse conditions at Vinnytsia National Agrarian University with scientific substantiation of their economic feasibility and environmental sustainability. The early-ripening determinant tomato hybrid F1 1015 was used, which is characterized by high adaptability to hydrothermal conditions, resistance to heat and diseases, a cuboid-rounded fruit shape, and a content of dry soluble substances over 5.5 Bx. Seedlings were grown in the Jiffy peat substrate with a controlled pH and nutrient level, sowing was carried out semi-automatically in compliance with the specified density. During the study, the yield and economic indicators of the product were determined, including cost price, profitability level, and net profit. The results showed that the transshipment method provides higher yield (92.37±1.45 t/ha) compared to the non-transshipment method (84.25±1.32 t/ha). The economic assessment shows that the transshipment method of growing seedlings is characterized by lower costs per unit of production and a higher level of profitability (100% vs. 33%). This confirms the feasibility of using transshipment to increase the efficiency of greenhouse vegetable growing. The data obtained are of practical importance for optimizing tomato agricultural technologies, increasing the profitability of enterprises, ensuring the rational use of production resources, and contributing to increasing the competitiveness of products in the regional, domestic, and foreign markets.
