Agriculture is important for every economy and it is the main activity of every country and without it there is no progress and development. Family farms are the most significant and numerous organizational form of agricultural activity in the Republic of Croatia and are also strategically very important for the agricultural economy of the Republic of Croatia. In today's time of the pandemic, people are paying more and more attention to the quality and source of the products they consume, and therefore increasingly appreciating domestic products produced on family farms. Also, some of the main advantages of family farm are the possibility of employing family members, the possibility of obtaining various incentives and supports from the Republic of Croatia, as well as the European Union, and large investments are not required to achieve a larger volume of production. However, despite the mentioned advantages, the state of family farms in the Republic of Croatia is not at a satisfactory level and does not represent competition with other members of the European Union, since more and more young people are leaving the country and do not want to engage in agriculture. This dissatisfaction of young people can be attributed to family farms shortcomings, some of which are high taxes that farmers have to pay, weather conditions and disasters etc.
