Abstract

The aim of the paper was to analyze descriptively the condition of production, consumption and market of fertilizers in the Republic of Croatia. The Petrokemija Ltd factory from Kutina, with the average annual realized production of 1,201,000 t and the sale of 1,149,000 t, is the key trader that deals with the production and sale of mineral fertilizers in Croatia. The Croatian market of mineral fertilizers has recently been characterized by the decline in demand, significant price rise, and a positive balance of foreign trade. The production and consumption of fertilizers in Croatia should in the coming period respect the demands for a sustainable development of agriculture and protection of environment.
