Sažetak
The European Commission Draft Regulation on Common Agricultural Policy 2021-
2027, proposes that the concept of ”genuine farmers” shall be defined so as to ensure that
no support is granted to those whose agricultural activity forms only an insignificant part
of their overall economic activities or whose principal business activity is not agricultural,
while not precluding from support pluri-active farmers. The Commission proposal has
sparked debate among Member States, since defining the concept of “genuine farmer” is
the basis for receiving support. The aim of the research was to determine the opinion of
agricultural representatives regarding the definition of “genuine farmer”. Consequently,
agricultural representatives of various agricultural associations from the Republic of Croatia
were interviewed in two phases. In the first phase, agricultural representatives were examined
within a focus group under the project “CAP for You” funded by the European Commission.
In the second phase, agricultural representatives from the Croatian Chamber of Agriculture
were asked to write their own definition of “genuine farmer”. The results showed that the
majority of these representatives considered “genuine farmer” one whose primary business
activity is agriculture.
