Analysis of the state of agricultural entrepreneurial activity – production of Varaždin county

Abstract
The Varaždin County is experiencing a decrease in arable
agricultural land and an increasing withdrawal from agricultural
production, despite favorable conditions for engaging in this activity.
Most agricultural subjects are small family farms, with persons over 60
years old predominating among the holders/managers of production.
The fragmentation of agricultural land and the reduced number of
young farmers further complicate the situation.
Positive initiatives aimed at benefiting existing farmers and motivating
young people to engage in agricultural production include the provision
of grants for growth and development, emphasizing investments
in modernization and increasing production capacities, while also
significantly encouraging the production of indigenous products. The
goal is to stop the decline in the number of agricultural subjects and
modernize their production to enable them to compete in the market
and contribute to achieving self-sufficiency in agricultural production.
