Recent Changes in the Economy of the Međimurje County

Sažetak
This article is a continuation of the article
by the same author entitled »The
Međimurje County: basic
socio-demographic features«, Sociologija
sela 32 (1/2), 85—99 (1994). It presents
and analyzes data about newly-registered
firms (relatively fewer than in Croatia as
a whole), about employment and the
social product according to type of
production (before 1991 the total social
product per inhabitant was lower than,
and since then it has been somewhat
higher than the national average;
employment data are more favourable
than for the Croatia as a whole, but they
also reflect the low accumulation of the
local industry), about the quality of life
(according to some indicators Međimurje
is above, and according to others below
the national average).
Special attention is paid to agriculture,
which makes up 22 per cent of the local
social product (the average for Croatia is
15 per cent), or about 4 per cent of the
national agricultural social product (local
industry contributes with about 2,5 per
cent). There is somewhat more
agricultural and cultivated land in the
overall acreage in Međimurje than in
Croatia as a whole. Before the social
sector started being denationalized the
participation of family agriculture in
Međimurje exceeded the national average,
but the farms were smaller and there
were more part-time households.
Considering the volume of agricultural
production, the most important
Međimurje crop for the Republic of
Croatia as a whole are potatoes (about 17
per cent of the total national production),
while the participation of other crops in
most cases corresponds with the area of
the County compared with the total area
of Croatia.
