THE BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF YUGOSLAV AGRICULTURE

Summary/Abstract: In his paper on the characteristics of Yugoslav agricultural production the author first of all points out at some moments in development of forces of production in agriculture. After that he makes periodization of the postwar developments in Yugoslav agricultural production. The author points out at two periods. First period runs from 1945 to 1956 and second from 1956-1966. First period is characterized by stagnation of production caused by war destroying, policy of industralization of the country measures for taking accumulation out of the agriculture etc. In tne second period a rapid development of the agricultural production went on. It was influenced by: larger investments, increase in the range of the socially-owned land, policy of socialist cooperation, fluctuation of agricultural inhabitants to other branches of economy etc. Socially-owned land increased to 13,7% in 1965 and number of tractors from 8.540 in 1954. to 40.340 in 1965. All this made possible for complete volume of agricultural production to increase from 174,8 index points when compared to 1956 (index 100). On the socially-owned farms that index is 489,5, and on individual 155,2.Increase of the volume of agricultural production in its rate of growth shows that Yugoslav agricultural production in the first period, in the period of stagnation, had a rate of growth of 1,67% which is under the level of 1939. For the whole postwar period that rate is 4,2% (1947-1966).Yugoslav agriculture produced in 1965 346.000 wagons of wheat to 243.000 in the period between 1930-1939. As to the corns this relation in the same period is 592.000 to- 430.000 wagons. Yield per hectare has increased from 11,4 quintals in 1930-1939 to 20,5 for the whole of agriculture and 32,5 quintals on the socially-owned farms. Similar increase can be marked on some other products.As to changes in the structure of production the author concludes that more quickly is going on cattle-breeding and cultivation of soil, while fruit-growing and vine-growing stagnates.As a whole in the postwar period Yugoslav agricultural production, consludes the author, has made rapid development, which makes Yugoslavia one of the countries with rapid development of agriculture.
