They pointed out several key issues, including insufficient domestic agricultural production to meet national needs, unresolved issues regarding agricultural land rights and access, and the import of agricultural products of questionable quality. \u201cEvery EU member state protects its own interests \u2013 Croatia should do the same, especially in the agricultural sector,\u201d the representatives emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the need to integrate food and defense policies, HPK representatives expressed the view that, alongside strengthening its defense policy, Croatia should also adopt measures to ensure food self-sufficiency and security in times of crisis or war. To this end, they proposed increasing domestic agricultural production and investing in infrastructure for processing and storing food products. They stressed the importance of building reserves and storage facilities for essential food items such as grains, oils, and dairy products, in order to guarantee a minimum level of food availability. Additionally, they advocated for expanding national capacities for the production, processing, and storage of food to meet domestic demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside President Mladen Jakopovi\u0107, the HPK delegation included Deputy President Mato Mihi\u0107, Presidency Member Antun Vraki\u0107, and Chamber associates Tomislava Gali\u0107 and Staka Peri\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Milanovi\u0107 was accompanied by Velibor Ma\u010dki\u0107, Special Adviser to the President of the Republic for the Economy, and Ivica Oluji\u0107, Adviser to the President of the Republic for Defense.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n                <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DSC_6485-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DSC_6485-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DSC_6496-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DSC_6496-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DSC_6540-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DSC_6540-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DSC_6546-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DSC_6546-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p>PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Ana Marija Kati\u0107<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 met today with representatives of the Croatian Chamber of Agriculture (HPK) to discuss the state of Croatian agriculture, with particular emphasis on the need to more closely integrate food and defense policies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":38629,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-38638","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
