Development potentials of family farm Bošnjak

Cilj rada bio je prikazati stanje obiteljskih poljoprivrednih gospodarstava u Hrvatskoj te istraţiti izazove i probleme s kojima se susreću, kao i mogućnosti njihovog opstanka i razvoja. U radu je istraţeno obiteljsko poljoprivredno gospodarstvo Bošnjak, s ciljem utvrĊivanja njegovog potencijal i budućih pravaca razvoja. Analizom se zakljuĉilo da obiteljska poljoprivredna gospodarstva imaju najveći udio u ukupnim poljoprivrednim gospodarstvima, ali da se u Hrvatskoj njihov razvoj kao ni razvoj cjelokupne poljoprivrede ne potiĉe dovoljno U radu su utvrĊeni i mnogobrojni problemi OPG-ova od kojih je glavni problem orijentacija drţave prema velikim sustavim proizvodnje, trţišna nestabilnost, nekonkurentnost, prevelik uvoz, rascjepkano poljoprivredno zemljište, male proizvodne parcele itd. Ti problemi zadesili su i OPG Bošnjak koji ne mogu ostvariti pozitivne rezultate u proizvodnji upravo zbog lošeg upravljanja drţave. Znaĉajna je uloga obiteljskih poljoprivrednih gospodarstava u smanjenju siromaštva i gladi, osobito u ruralnim zajednicama, osiguravanju sigurnosti i nutritivnih vrijednosti hrane, povećanju zarade, gospodarenju prirodnim resursima, zaštiti okoliša te ostvarenju odrţivog razvoja.The aim of this paper was to determinate the state of family farms in Croatia and explore the challenges and problems they face, as well as the possibilities of their existence and development. The paper explored the family farm Bošnjak, in order to determinate its potential and future development directions. The analysis found that family farms have the biggest part in the total amount of farms, but they are poorly supported in Croatia, as well as overall development of agriculture. The paper identified many problems of family farms, where the main problem is state orientation towards large production system and also market instability, lack of competitiveness, to much import, fragmented agricultural land, small-scale plots, etc. These problems plagued the family farm Bošnjak as well. They can not achive positive results in the production because of poor management of the country. The role of family farm is to reduce poverty and hunger, especially in rural communities, ensuring the safety and nutritional value of food, the increase in earnings, management of natural resources, protecting the environment and achieving sustainable development
