SUMMARYLow competitiveness and poor positioning of Croatian agriculture on the EU market is the consequence of a number of constraints such as possession of a small and fragmented land parcels, undeveloped market infrastructure, low technological level of production, etc. In such circumstances, one of the basic prerequisites for increasing the competitiveness of domestic agriculture is production and marketing organizing family farms. Numerous experience in the EU and around the world show that cooperatives operate as a successful business model of the farmers' organizations and contribute to their competitiveness in the global food market and strengthening the bargaining power in the food supply chains. According to available data we describe the institutional and normative support of the current situation in Croatian cooperatives in agriculture sector and compare it with the agricultural cooperatives in selected EU member states. An analysis showed the marginal contribution of cooperatives in the production, purchase and turnover of agricultural products in Croatia. Cooperative legislation in Croatia is regulated by EU standards, but the financial and institutional support is insufficient for the incentive development of agricultural cooperatives. In order to raise the competitiveness of Croatian agriculture there should be transparent promotion of cooperatives as a successful business model organization of family farms.

The article focuses on the identification of connection patterns between socioeconomic characteristics and respondents' motivation. The research was performed on a sample of 202 shareholders of agricultural cooperatives in five Croatian counties. The correspondence analysis has confirmed the existence of high inertia within groups of economic and social motives as well as the highest importance for financial reasons. Multiple correspondence analysis identifies differences in response patterns of evaluating the influence of motivational factors. Better market placement is the main reason for joining cooperatives among respondents with full ownership rights having fewer than ten years of experience and lower income from agriculture. The respondents with higher income from farming or cooperation were more motivated to reduce production costs unlike the respondents with more moderate income.

Abstract:The aim of the study was to determine the chances of the Slavonian family farms for social reproduction in the next generation and to determine attitudes of farmers towards some aspects of family farm inheritance and the possible ways of preventing the division of land. The research was carried out on a sample of 202 family farms. The analysis showed that the chances to remain as integral production units in the next generation are realistic for only 48% of family farms. The traditional pattern of behavior is obvious with regard to inheritance and to postponing the transfer of management and control of the farm resources. The majority of the Slavonian farmers find that it would be proper if the state were to introduce special measures to regulate the integrity of the land and to offer subsidies and easements for the "entry" of the young into the agriculture.Key words: family farm, inheritance, successor, Slavonia, croatia Abstrakt: cílem předkládané studie bylo vymezit možnosti rodinných farem ve Slavonii vzhledem k sociální reprodukci v dalších generacích a vymezit postoje farmářů ve vztahu k některým aspektům dědění rodinných farem a možných cest, jak přitom zabránit drobení půdy. Výzkum zahrnoval vzorek 202 rodinných farem. Analýza ukazuje, že pouze 48 % rodinných farem má reálnou šanci zůstat integrálními produkčními jednotkami v další generaci. Ve vztahu k dědění je zde zřejmé přetrvávání tradičního vzorce a odkládání převodu řízení a kontroly farmy a jejích zdrojů. Převážná část rodinných farmářů ve Slavonii by považovala za vhodné, aby stát zavedl zvláštní opatření k regulaci integrity půdy a nabízel dotace a další formy podpory usnadňující vstup mladé generace do zemědělství.Klíčová slova: rodinná firma, dědický proces, dědictví, následník, Slavonie, chorvatsko 1 The croatian territory is divided into three natural and geographical regions: Pannonian and Peripannonian region, mountainous region and Adriatic region.

A n i t a S i l v a n a I l a k P e r š u r i ć Institut za poljoprivredu i turizam, Poreč anita@iptpo.hr Đ u r đ i c a Ž u t i n i ćAgronomski fakultet Sveučilišta u Zagrebu dzutinic@agr.hr SAŽETAK U ovom radu nastojimo valorizirati ekonomski položaj žena na obiteljskom poljoprivrednom gospodarstvu (OPG). Ekonomski položaj žena vrlo rijetko se spominje u recentnoj hrvatskoj literaturi i stoga zaslužuje znanstvenu pozornost. Uobičajeno se istražuje unutar obiteljske radne skupine u sklopu ekonomskih odrednica gospodarstva o dohodovnosti, učinkovitosti, ekonomičnosti u radu.U našem istraživanju ekonomskog položaja žena na OPG dajemo primjer jedne žu-panije (Istarske). Naša hipoteza bila je da obitelj, profesionalni status žene i ekonomska obilježja OPG utječu na ekonomski položaj žene. Navedeni čimbenici utječu na participaciju žena u poljoprivrednim aktivnostima na OPG, na percepciju o radu na gospodarstvu, na stavove o položaju žene na selu, stavove o zapošljavanju žena izvan OPG-a te o obrazovanju za poljoprivredno zanimanje.Ključne riječi: žene, ekonomski položaj, obiteljsko poljoprivredno gospodarstvo, Istarska županija. UvodNamjera ovog rada bila je objasniti ekonomski položaj žena na obiteljskom poljoprivrednom gospodarstvu temeljem istraživanja na uzorku žena u Istarskoj župa-niji. U ekonomskom smislu ekonomski položaj uključuje formalni status zaposlenika; primanje dohotka, plaćene doprinose za mirovinsko i zdravstveno osiguranje, satnicu rada i dr.

Stoga samo iz pojedinih podataka toga popisa možemo okvirno iščitati podatke o utrošenom radnom vremenu na poljoprivredne aktivnosti u poljoprivrednim kućanstvima kako slijedi: u Hrvatskoj najviše članova poljoprivrednih kućanstava radi do 2 sata dnevno na gospodarstvu (39.1%) i 22.8% ih uopće ne radi, a u kategoriji više od 6 sati rada radi 12% članova. Za Istarsku županiju pokazatelji su slični: 40.7% radi do 2 sata dnevno, 28.7% ih ne radi na posjedu, a 7.3% rade više od 6 sati dnevno (obrada Popisa poljoprivrede 2003.; Ilak Peršurić, 2005.:60).U literaturi inozemnih i domaćih autora rad žena na OPG-u spominje se kao dio "ugovora" o udaji, pod utjecajem patrijarhalne organizacije i socijalnih običaja ruralne sredine (Pateman, 2000.). Žene koje žive i rade na gospodarstvu imaju važnu ulogu, tako Dilić (1989.) obiteljsku poljoprivredu poima s tipično muškim predznakom, a radni doprinos žena smatra teško mjerljivim elementom. Istraživanja Whatmore (1991.) te Rosenfield i Lennon (1994.) ilustriraju da žene rade osim poljo...
