Socioeconomic Team members Marco Palma (Texas A&M Univ.), Luis Ribera (Texas A&M Univ.) continued to perform economic analysis of the cost of production with disease control and define, parameterize, simulate, and validate production variables based on cucurbit production crop budgets.

CucCAP researchers perform economic analysis on production costs and disease control for cucurbit crops
CucCAP economists developed models showing potential for economic returns for cucurbit crops in multiple production regions. Economic variables such as interest rates, input costs, production windows and existing crop budgets were collected to develop representative farms for production of cucurbit crops.

CucCAP1 Economics Team
Socioeconomics Team Marco Palma (Team Leader) – Texas A&M University Luis Ribera – Texas A&M University Economic considerations The adoption of agricultural practices and new cultivars highly depends on potential increase in profitability via reduced costs, increased revenue, or both. Representative farms for each selected cucurbit product will be used to collect relevant economic information about costs of […]
