ECONOMIC RATIONALE FOR GRAIN LOSSES SUBJECT TO WEATHER CONDITIONS AND HARVESTING TIMEFRAME

The development of the grain producrion sub-industry is of great importance in view of ensuring food security. The adaptation to new economic conditions requires the development of a number of theoretical and methodological provisions aimed at making a new methodological approach to productivity forcasting, taking account of zonal agro-climatic conditions of the crop cultivation and harvesting. The authors offer a mathematical model that takes into account weather conditions and lost economic benefits. The model provides for quick decision making in mechanized cultivation of crops on the implementation of necessary technological processes, including the time frames of crop harvesting. Taking into account weather conditions will help minimize economic losses.
