Abstract
The objective of the work was estimation of the cost of seed-potato production and analysis of factors influencing its level. According to the earlier studies, the profitability of seed production is mentioned as a supply-side barrier at the fourth-fifth place among the elements of the strategy for development and reconstruction of the seed market. In addition to the possible highest yielding seed material (fraction of seed-potatoes), the factors reducing the unit cost of certified seed-potatoes include the implementation of bed technology and other elements of technological innovation. Because of the need to meet the official phytosanitary requirements (reducing the risk of disqualification), the early destruction of haulm, the use of seed dressing and mineral oil is justified.
