Minister Says Croatia’s Agricultural Output On Rise For Five Years

“According to estimates by the national statistical office, Croatia’s agricultural output grew at a rate of 8.1% in 2021,” said the minister, stressing that the production had been growing for the five past years.

She addressed parliament during the presentation of the government’s agriculture strategy up to 2030.

In response to harsh criticism from opposition lawmakers about a deficit in the farm sector, Vučković said that such gap could not be narrowed “with a magic wand” and could be reduced only through investment in boosting competitiveness and productivity.

The plan is to increase agricultural production from HRK 20 billion to HRK 30 billion annually by 2030, which would imply average annual growth of between 4% and 4.5%.

Vučković recalled that the government’s €640 million support package to cushion the impact of energy price rises includes a €33.3 million (HRK 250 million) set of measures to help farmers and fishermen deal with increased energy prices.

The HRK 250 million aid scheme includes HRK 200 million for farmers and HRK 50 million for fishermen and will cover 88,000 family farms and 2,000 fishermen.
