Sažetak
An aggregate indicator of the influence of producer prices on a whole agricultural production in the Republic of Croatia for the period 1981-1997 shows that the prices of agricultural products had not determined the level of production in a great measure. The coefficient of determination shows that only 21 percent of chang in agricultural production can be explained by changes in producer prices, and 59 percent by the influence of other factors. It is well known that more significant influence on changes in some production levels have producer prices from previour year/years. Moved for one year, the influence of producer prices on production (the price in year X in relation with production in year X+1) is much more significant, so the coefficient of correlation for the analyzed period is R=0.75 and the coefficient of determination is 0.55. The higher the producer price for the next year or period will mean the higher level and quality of consumed agricultural inputs. Our research shows that in production of basic livestock products has no considerable relation between the producer prices and changes in production level.
