The competitiveness of production and processing of wheat on the EU market

Proizvodnja žitarica predstavlja osnovu cjelokupne poljoprivredne djelatnosti, s obzirom na to da neposredno osigurava hranu za stanovništvo, kao i hranu neophodnu za životinjsku proizvodnju. Na taj način opseg i struktura žitarica utječe na opseg i strukturu stočarske proizvodnje. Za potrebe ovog rada obavljena je analiza prikupljanjem dostupnih podataka o proizvodnji i preradi pšenice u Republici Hrvatskoj i Europskoj Uniji. U ovom radu prikupljenim podacima napravljena je komparacija cijena, zasijanih površina pod pšenicom, te proizvodnja i prerada u zemljama Europske unijeCereal production represents the basis of all agricultural activities since it directly provides food for the population as well as the food necessary for animal production. In this way, the volume and structure of cereals production influence the scope and structure of livestock production. For the purpose of this paper, an analysis of the available data on wheat production and processing in the Republic of Croatia and the European Union was carried out. In this paper, with the collected data is made the comparison of price, sown area under wheat, and production and processing in the European Union
