1 The Economics of Greenhouse Vegetables 1 Raymond Joe Schatzer, Ahmed Al-Abdulkader and Harry P. Mapp Department of Agricultural Economics Oklahoma State University Today, we report on a study Ahmed completed two years ago that examined the economic feasibility of greenhouse vegetable production in Oklahoma. Our study concentrated on the production of greenhouse tomatoes and cucumbers using two common production systems. We analyzed the bed culture production system and the bag culture option of the production system. There are other production systems including many options for the hydroponic system. Greenhouse owners can produce other vegetables and plants in the greenhouse. Our study concentrated on four greenhouse production systems: 1. Tomato production in the Spring and Fall using bed culture 2. Tomato production in the Spring and Fall using bag culture 3. Cucumber production in the Spring and Fall using bed culture 4. Cucumber production in the Spring and Fall using bag culture Our study was an attempt to answer the following questions for each production system: 1. What are the expected total investment costs? 2. What are the expected annual costs, returns, and cash flows? 3. What is the economic feasibility under conditions of yield and price variability? To answer these questions for each production system, we use an enterprise budget, an income statement, a cash flow budget, and a capital budgeting analysis. We divide the costs into two 1 Paper AE-9432 of the Department of Agricultural Economics, Oklahoma State University, presented at the Greenhouse Vegetable Growers Seminar, John Kirkpatrick Horticulture Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, July 28,1994.

2 2 categories, fixed costs and variable costs. Fixed costs are those costs over which you have no control once you make the investment in the greenhouse. These fixed costs include depreciation, interest on the investment, property taxes, and property insurance. The production of crops will require additional costs that we label variable costs. These costs will depend upon the number of plants used, the type of crop grown, the kind of system used, and the way the product is sold. These costs include seed, fertilizer, water, electricity, natural gas, twine, clips, pots, labor, management, etc. The economic and financial feasibility of greenhouse production of vegetables depends upon the type of greenhouse operation and the results obtained. Since each producer's operation will likely differ, we attempted to develop a realistic greenhouse setup for Oklahoma. You can adjust our assumptions to fit your expected operation. We assumed the greenhouse module consists of three 30'x96' polyethylene film houses with a total of 8,640 square feet of greenhouse space for growing plants. This size greenhouse module would require about one-half acre of land. We located the greenhouse in an urban area so the land costs are high. Everything except the growing medium, we assumed had no salvage value. We used 50 percent of the purchase value as the salvage value of the growing medium. Every two years, we assumed the replacement of the external cover, growing medium, and battery used for backup. We assumed the evaporating cooling pad system and solenoid values are replaced every five years. Every ten years, we assumed the thermostats, growing beds, watering system, and minor tools and equipment are replaced. These replacement lives were used to calculate depreciation. We estimated the interest cost at 8.75 percent of the average investment, property taxes at 1.6 percent of the initial investment, and property insurance at 0.8 percent of the average investment. A summary of the greenhouse investment costs are provided
3 3 in Table 1. We estimated the bed culture system would require an investment of $51,929 and the bag culture system would require $51,098. Our estimate of total annual fixed costs for the bed culture system is $8,334 and for the bag culture system is $7,604. The bed culture system has higher fixed costs because it requires a higher investment in growing medium every two years. The bag culture system has a higher requirement in the watering system every ten years. We assumed that the utilities, amount of twine used, clips used, insecticides used, medium used for growing the transplants, and the management charge would not vary by crop or culture system. The costs of these inputs, which amount to $11,625 per year, are provided in Table 2. We assumed the rest of the variable inputs would vary by either production system or crop. In Tables 3 and 4 we summarize our assumptions about the schedule of operations and planning assumptions for the four production systems. We assume the Fall yield of tomatoes per plant per week is one-half the Spring yield and the bag culture yield in 12.5 percent higher than the bed culture yield. We assume the Fall yield of cucumbers per plant per week is twice the Spring yield and the bag culture yield is 27.8 percent higher than the bed culture yield. Table 5 summarizes the variable costs of producing a Fall and Spring crop of tomatoes and cucumbers using the bed culture system and Table 6 summarizes them for the bag culture system. The total variable costs for producing tomatoes with the bed culture system is $22,530 and with the bag culture system is $23,397. For producing cucumbers, the total variable costs with the bed culture system is $26,603 and with the bag culture system is $28,746. An income statement for each production system is provide in Table 7 along with the break-even price per pound. At the assumed base yield and prices, the expected return to risk for tomatoes for the bed culture system is $15,544 and for the bag culture system is $20,922. The return to risk is the
4 4 residual income left after paying all resources an opportunity return including all labor and management. We estimate the total costs of producing tomatoes with the bed culture system as 70.1 cents per pound. With the bag culture system, we estimate the total costs of producing tomatoes as 63.2 cents per pound. The expected return to risk for cucumbers under the bed culture system is $11,719 and for the bag culture system is $23,266. The total costs of producing cucumbers with the bed culture system is 71.9 cents per pound and with the bag culture system is 58.5 cents per pound. From an annual expected profit and lost statement it appears that greenhouse production of tomatoes and cucumbers is feasible. Tables 8, 9, 10, and 11 present for the four production systems the annual cash flows for the assumed twenty year life of the greenhouse structure and an estimate of the present value of each years net cash flow. We calculated the present value using a twelve percent discount rate. The expected net present value of growing tomatoes with the bed culture system is $91,493. For the bag culture system, the net present value is $139,723. The expected net present value of growing cucumbers with the bed culture system is $63,332. For the bag culture system, the net present value is $154,969. The net present value is greater than zero after five years for growing tomatoes with the bed culture system and after four years with the bag culture system. For growing cucumbers, the net present value is greater than zero after six years with the bed culture system and after four years with the bag culture system. The bag culture systems have the higher net present value because less growing medium has to be purchased every two years. Another measure of the long term feasibility of the investment is the internal rate of return. The internal rate of return is the discount rate that makes the net present value zero. The internal rate of return is percent for bed culture tomatoes, percent for bag culture tomatoes, percent for bed culture cucumbers, and percent for bag culture cucumbers. Table 12 shows
5 5 the net present value for alternative discount rates for each production system. We examined the sensitivity of the net present value to changes in the yield and the product price. Results of this analysis are provided in Tables 13 and 14. Since part of the costs are a function of the yield, the net present value is more sensitive to changes in prices than changes in yields. Price (less than 20 percent) and yield (less than 25 percent) can change the least amount for cucumbers with the bed culture system before the net present value goes negative, while price and yield can drop more than 30 percent before tomatoes and cucumbers with the bag culture system. The bag culture system is less risky than the bed culture system from an long term investment viewpoint. Greenhouse production of tomatoes or cucumbers can provide a producer with a positive net return in Oklahoma. Potential greenhouse producers must recognize that the potential income is very sensitive to the prices and yields that they receive. The potential greenhouse producer must have a market that can take his or her production at a price higher than that received for field grown imports from other regions.
