The purpose of our study was measuring the risk by comparing the gross profit rates in the retail trade of ”Golden” and ”Starking” cultivars in relation to the market of Dibra Municipality. In order to measure this risk, it was used dispersions, standard deviations and variation coefficients. Monthly apple prices in retail trade for the period January to December 2016 were received by the Statistic Office, Dibra Agriculture Directory. Data processing was carried out using Excel software. Referring to the analysis of data it came out that in retail trade the “Starking” cultivar has a greater risk than the “Golden” cultivar. These findings are useful not only for retail traders but also for wholesalers, farmers, policymakers and for the final consumer itself. Keywords: Retail trade, gross profit rate, dispersion, standard deviation, variation coefficient. |
