The Croatian Government thus adopted a temporary operative plan of
spring sowing at Thursday's session.
If everything goes as planned, Croatia will be able to satisfy its
needs for sugar, oil and plant fat from its own production.
Total sowing areas are by three per cent larger this spring than
last year's, with planned 732,021 hectares.
Corn will be planted on more than a half of the sowed areas, on
380,000 hectares. If five tonnes are reaped per hectare, as
planned, Croatia will by this autumn have almost 1.9 million tonnes
of corn which will completely satisfy domestic needs.
Agriculture and Forestry Minister Bozidar Pankretic said at the
Government session that new stimulation resources could be
motioned before the Government in about two months.
