Entrepreneurship development of non-timber forest products in Republic of Croatia
The forestry branch, with small- and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in the rural development, recreation and forest-based tourism activities. According to FAO, non-timber forest products consist of goods of biological origin other than wood, derived from forest, other wooded land and trees outside forests. For the rural population, mushrooms, medicinal and aromatic plants, berries and herbs are of particular importance, which creates additional forest value and potential for development of new forest products and services. The aim of research was to analyze the added value chain for NTFP, cooperation between pickers and processors, and determination of key drivers and obstacles for development of NTFP market in Croatia. Research included 27 SMEs as Non Timber Forest Products processors. Collected amounts per one enterprise in average were 16.5 tons/year of mushrooms, 153.5 tons/year of aromatic and medicinal plants, and 2.2 tons/year of berries and other fruits. Legal framework is not supportive for business environment because of high price for collecting licence (annually), permission from the Ministry of Nature Protection and market fees. The main obstacles for development of national market are: unfair competition, lack of education (NTFP collecting and processing) and undeveloped national market.
