Zusammenfassung:
Cultivation of vegetables in sheltered areas has become a common practice, due both to the possibilities of extending the vegetable growing season into the off-season and to the control of extreme climatic conditions (e.g. low temperatures and excessive rains) that can cause substantial damage . Because of these challenges, farmers are looking to implement new farming methods that not only support productivity, but also protect the environment. Eggplant stands out among vegetable crops due to the demand found on the market but also due to its high nutritional value. In the context of global concerns about sustainability and health, the organic farming system is gaining ground in front of the conventional system. This article proposes to carry out a comparative analysis of the economic performance of eggplant cultivation in greenhouses in the two farming systems, organic and conventional, with the aim of providing forecasts for the agricultural year 2024-2025. The production costs involved in the technological process, the capitalization prices and the degree of profitability per product unit will be analyzed. The results of the study will provide valuable information that can support greenhouses eggplant growers to improve existing farm-level strategies to meet both economic and environmental needs.
