Abstract

The aim of the paper is a descriptive analysis of the present situation in production resources and agricultural production in the area of Split-Dalmatian County. Based on the situation analysis of production resources and agricultural production, by means of SWOT analysis, the fundamentals are identified, i.e. the elements that make or may make an impact on the development of agriculture in Split-Dalmatian County. The SWOT analysis results show that the strategic developmental activities should be managed towards (a) maximum use of the existing satisfactory (natural, productive, and entrepreneurial) potential, (b) more intensive marketing activities in order to create the preconditions for the development of competitive and sustainable agriculture, and to establish a relevant (trade and market) infrastructure. This is how the threat of global institutional and market pressures would be avoided. A multifunctional concept of agriculture, which gives priority to the complete rural economy i.e. the development and diversification of rural economic activities, represents a desirable paradigm of agricultural development in Split-Dalmatian County.
