Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the economic statement of the poultry egg sector in Kosovo. According to the Agency for Agricultural Development (AAD), in Kosovo are registered 56 poultry egg farms, and most of them are small size farms. A sample of 21 poultry egg farms was selected, based on a systematic selection. Data were collected through a semi-structured questionnaire using a face-to-face interview with farmers in the poultry egg sector in the territory of Kosovo. The findings show that poultry egg production in Kosovo is profitable. It can be concluded that farms were cost-effective and lucrative as a result. Results show that medium-size farms (10,000 – 50,000 laying hens) had higher ROA and ROS then small size (up to 10,000 laying hens) and large size farms (more than 50,000 laying hens). However, large size farms had a higher cost-benefit ratio and net profit margin. It is recommended that farmers should improve farm buildings, make better management practices and have more control in the animal feed supply. Lastly, farmers' access to the financial market is limited and due to its importance it should be addressed by policymakers and financial institutions.
