operative plan for this year's sowing of wheat predicting sowing on
the same amount of hectares as last year. However, this area has
been reduced by ten percent, which the ministry explained as being
necessary for changing the sowing structure. #L#
The aim of the change is the production of wheat in amounts which
would satisfy consumption needs in Croatia.
This year, 381,000 tonnes of market excess wheat were produced, of
which 250,000 tonnes will be exported.
The deadline for changing the sowing area is August 20.
