The role of agriculture and the village in the development of coastal Croatia
Josip Defilippis
Sažetak
Thanks to the very well developed tertiary
sector, the GNP of coastal Croatia
participates in Croatia’s overall GNP
more highly than does its population
(35.5% and 30.6%). Agricultural
production, on the other hand, is much
more poorly represented. The value of
agricultural production rests on its
complementary characteristics with a high
proportion of Mediterranean cultures. The
agrarian policy of Croatia should thus be
of a regional character, and adapt its
production structure to the natural
conditions that favour it.
In recent years the decades-long decrease
of the rural population of coastal Croatia
was greatly mitigated, and in some areas
even stopped. In the villages, however,
non-agricultural households, i.e.
households that have no active farmers,
prevail. Thus the strategy for the
development of the village as a social,
economic and cultural environment in
which agriculture occupies only one
segment must start from the totality of
village life as it is, not only from
conditions for fostering agricultural
production. This kind of development will
then activate the existing potentials for
agricultural development, too.
In rural areas that suffered war
destruction »projects« for activating
agricultural production should bear in
mind long-term economic efficiency, and
should, among other things, promote the
creation of »economically feasable« farms.
Answers should already now be sought to
prevent the possible tendency towards the
spreading of uncultivated areas.
