Sažetak

In the newly emerging economic situation resulting from the economic effects of the COVID 19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the global economic crisis of 2008, the self-sufficiency of national economies in food production is becoming a very important issue. Given the enhanced instability of international supply chains, food production is becoming, in addition to economic, an important political issue. Fearing a possible new pandemic and escalating conflict in Ukraine, the governments of the surrounding countries face the challenge of rapid adjustment to ensure food and energy self-sufficiency and thus the socio-political stability of their countries. Self-sufficiency in pork production is only one part of the food self-sufficiency that significantly affects the employment of the population and indirectly the economic position of veterinary professionals involved in this production. The total consumption of pork in the Republic of Croatia in the period from 2012 to 2020 was covered by domestic production on average about 65%. This means that about 35% of pork consumed in Croatia came from imports. Achieving full self-sufficiency in pork production would mean that it would be necessary to increase pork production in Croatia by at least about 50%, which represents a significant potential for employment and mobilization of unused natural resources and a great challenge to all stakeholders in pork production and sales. The experience of some EU countries such as Poland and Hungary shows that this can be achieved and research suggests that self-sufficiency can stabilize domestic production and protect it from price fluctuations in the international market.
