Models consolidation of agricultural entities in the Republic of Croatia

Obiteljska poljoprivredna gospodarstva Hrvatske su površinski prosječno mala, ali i s velikim brojem parcela. Ovo predstavlja veliko ograničenje daljnjeg poljoprivrednog razvitka te se traže načini rješenja ovoga problema. Dok jedni zagovaraju proizvodno, horizontalno povezivanje proizvođača, drugi kao rješenje vide u okrupnjavanju površina, a treći zagovaraju oba procesa. Malo primjera okrupnjavanja površina se često pojašnjava emotivnim iako neracionalnim odnosom vlasništva prema posjedu kao i nedostatnim naporima države da se taj proces pokrene. Hrvatska ima povijesnog iskustva u provođenju komasacije, te se ova agrotehnička mjera ponovo navodi kao dio nove poljoprivredne politike. Cilj rada je analizirati podatke o raspolaganju poljoprivrednim zemljištem na području Republike Hrvatske kako bi se na vrijeme poduzele mjere kojima bi se utjecalo na što racionalniji sustav raspolaganja poljoprivrednim zemljištem kao dobrom od interesa za Republiku Hrvatsku sukladno važećim propisima, uz istovremenu zaštitu okoliša. Sukladno navedenom cilju, u radu se želi prikazati važnost i uloga zemljišne politike u postupcima kvalitetnog i efikasnog raspolaganja poljoprivrednog zemljišta u vlasništvu Republike Hrvatske.Family farms in Croatia are on average small in area, but also with a large number of plots. This represents a major limitation of further agricultural development, and ways of solving this problem are being sought. While some advocate the production, horizontal connection of producers, others see the solution in consolidating areas, and still others advocate both processes. The few examples of land consolidation are often explained by the emotional, albeit irrational, relationship of the owner to the property, as well as insufficient efforts by the state to initiate this process. Croatia has historical experience in the implementation of compaction, and this agrotechnical measure is once again mentioned as part of the new agricultural policy. The aim of the work is to analyze data on the disposal of agricultural land in the Republic of Croatia in order to take timely measures to influence the most rational system of disposal of agricultural land as an asset of interest to the Republic of Croatia in accordance with current regulations, while simultaneously protecting the environment. In accordance with the stated goal, the paper aims to show the importance and role of land policy in the procedures of quality and efficient disposal of agricultural land owned by the Republic of Croatia
