Croatia is a country with a long tradition of grape and wine production. In the last ten years, there has been on increase of the areas under vine, and also the increase of wine production. Despite this, Croatia has continued to increase wine imports most by from neighboring countries. Regardless of the expected Croatian accession to the European Union are increase of foreign wines sale is expected in Croatian market. But the market liberalization will encourage the Croatian wine export, where the main disadvantages are inadequate marketing and small production. The aim of this paper is to determine the Croatian sufficiency degree of grape and wine for the period from 2000 to 2010. Also by using the trend method to calculate the self-sufficiency in 2013, the year of expected Croatian
accession to the European Union. The research results give the basis for agricultural policy makers in developing of measures, which will have the aim to increase the level of Croatian self-sufficiency in grape and wine quantity.
