Summary: This research is a continuation of research into the present state of arable land and economy in the Republic of Croatia and Slavonia and Baranja with particular reference to th air and water regime. It is also a continuation of research on the effects of land consolidation schieved in Slavonia and Baranja before 1988. The needs, possibilities and economic preconditions for the future land development by means of land consolidation will also be determined.

Keywords: land consolidation, cultural practices, reallocation of holdings

Research goals: Land protentional is inadequately utilized in the Republic of Croatia and in Slavonia and Baranja, and negative tendencies with regard to the hectarage of arable land are also present. 3.306.837 hectares of arable land in the Republic of Croatia is still split into 0.18 hectare units. 3-5% of productive land is taken up by unnecessary boundaries and the average exploitation of the genetic potential of crop varietise is only 30.60%. The results of this research show that land improvement could lead to the achievement of the following results in the next medium term period. - The hectarage of agricultural enterprises in this area would increase on the average by 27%, that is the range of increas would be 1-50%, - The hectarage with a stable water and air regime would increase by 50% in comparison with the situation before land consolidation. Y Fallow land and untilled arable land would be reduced to only 10% of the original hectarage. Y The yield of staple crops would be increased by 30-100% with a parallel decrease in production costs by 20-50%. -This would create hectarage necessary for the production of sugar beet since this hectarage in now insufficient in the Republic of Croatia.
