The renewal and development of Croatian agriculture, villages and farms

Abstract

The authors begin by presenting their own conception of rural and agricultural renewal. They consider that destroyed or damaged facilities should be rebuilt in accordance with the most recent research into social and economic development, i.e. that present efforts at renewal should be directly geared towards rural and agricultural prosperity. The article gives the estimates of losses in the livestock fund, farming and residential buildings, agricultural mechanization, the damage done to agro-industrial complexes and other socially-owned agricultural production and processing firms and other damage. The authors tried to estimate the costs of renewal in spite of the difficulties that make precise calculations impossible. The article continues by presenting possible sources for the renewal of this segment of the economy, the bearers of renewal and its priorities. All these questions demand quick practical answers. To these problems of renewal must also be added the inherited bad agrarian and social structure and all the other consequences of an agrarian policy that for so long neglected the private sector
