Summary: In former Yugoslavia and the Socialist Republic of Croatia there existed three forms of farmland ownership: social, cooperative and private ownership. Private ownership of farmland was limited to 10 hectares by the so-called agrarian maximum. For a long period of time the demand for agricultural and food products was greater than the supply. A large number was limited and this branch of economy was not competitive on the foreign markets. Because of these and other conditions neither management for marketing were sufficiently applied and developed. After the social and economic changes of 1990, preference was given to market economy. Unfortunately, one part of Eastern Croatia (Slavonia and Baranja) is still under occupation. This is a limiting factor of larger supply and demand as well as of the application of management and marketing.

Keywords: management, marketing, agricultural and food system, market, Slavonia and Baranja, Croatia, Eastern Croatia

Research goals: The aim of this research is the application of management and marketing in the agricultural and food system in Slavonia and Baranja. Management and marketing are modern methods of managing the production and market. Expected results The limiting factors of achieving better results are: (1) a relatively slow process of transformation of socially-owned enterprises; (2) war conditions in Eastern Slavoia; and (3) the lack of skilled personnel trained in management and marketing. Activities within the project The majority of researchers are very active. The papers published belong to two categories: a) theoretical, b) empirical The majority of papers are interdisciplinary in character and cover agronomic, economic, legal and other aspects. The research team will actively participate in the process of denationalization (both from the theoretical and pragmatic points of view).
