COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF POTATOES IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF PACKAGING
Aim. Analyze and compare potatoes in different types of packaging. Material and Methods. The research was conducted using the method of comparison, trend analysis and economic efficiency. The objects of research were: fresh potatoes (GOST 26832-86) in vacuum packing (GOST 12302-2013) and in a net. Results. In the process of research, a comparison was made and analysis of fresh potatoes in different types of packaging - vacuum and in net was carried out. Comparative analysis showed that the cost of raw materials per 100 kg was: for potatoes in a net - 1300 rubles, for potatoes in vacuum packaging - 1500 rubles. The increase in the cost of raw materials for vacuum-packed potatoes is associated with the cost of purchasing packaging material. The level of profitability of production of potatoes in vacuum packaging is 6.4% higher than the level of profitability of production of potatoes in a net. Conclusion. In the production of vacuum-packed peeled potatoes, the raw materials go through thorough stages of cleaning and processing. This increases the demand for products, since such potatoes are waste-free and allow you to be confident in their quality.
