Abstract

The cultivation of soybean in Croatia is done in dry-farming conditions on more than 20,000 hectares with the production of about 50,000 tones. However, current requirement for soybean grain in Croatia is about 100,000 tones, so that about 50% of soybean is imported. Soybean breeding programs are located in Zagreb and Osijek and domestic cultivars are the basis of seed production programs. Although there is sufficient seed production capacity there is some concern over seed quality due to the lack of seed processing and storage facilities.
