摘要：In the paper we have started from the supposition that Croatian agricultural policy in its elements (policy objectives, measures and methods, stakeholders, results), has been transformed due to the impact of the world food market enlargement and economic globalization. Priorities, forms and dynamics of intervention have been changed, which was in the past decade enriched by a new dimension: the introduction of the concept of sustainable development of rural areas. The emphasis of the analysis is on the price and subsidy policy that makes up the skeleton of the agricultural policy during the entire analyzed period. By state intervention indicators the level of foreign trade protection and domestic support has been evaluated. Although the nominal indicators point out a relatively highly protected agricultural sector, effective protection of domestic producers has been considerably lower, due to high costs of agricultural inputs and the influence of world prices. At the end of the analyzed period, a shift in Croatian agricultural policy has been noticed toward the model of non-price support. The key elements of sustainable development are identified, and introduced into agricultural research and also into the legislation background of the policy of agricultural and rural development. In the near future considerable reform of the agricultural policy strategic objectives and measures toward structural support and sustainable development are to be expected as well as toward the policy of direct income support for farmers.
