Abstract
Rural development implies integral and multisectoral development of rural areas. Integral and sustainable development of rural areas is important for the development of the entire economy in the Republic of Croatia. Their overall development faces a number of problems, such as emigration and population aging, and the generally poor economic situation in south-eastern Europe. Sustainability is a key component of the development process in the agricultural market. Sustainability is also essential for the continuous and sustainable growth of society, the economy and the environment as a whole. Insufficient development of rural areas consequently leads to unstable fluctuations in the social, economic and political sectors. The aim of this paper is to analyze the implementation of measures within Priority 2 of the Rural Development Program of the Republic of Croatia and their impact on the development of agricultural holdings. According to the analyzed research data, the final part of the paper draws a relevant conclusion on the positive results of the implementation of measures, which is reflected in the increased number of employees in agriculture, increase in the number of agricultural holdings and increased share of gross value added in total GDP.
