Sažetak
During the past decades the charcoal industry in Croatia has been marginalised on the strategic level, and the level of charcoal production over the last ten years has shown a downward trend, even though during the same time span, the available feedstock resources ad market demand have increased. Preliminary assessment has identified several issues that may be the cause for such a trend. Primary, it is old and inefficient production technology, which subsequently determinates the relatively high market price and thus the loss of competitiveness on external as well as on the internal markets. A project launched in July 2006 within FAO Technical Cooperation Programme has the objective to assess the current status of the charcoal production in Croatia, in order to develop a programme for the revitalisation of this industry. Apart from recommendations and best solutions for the technological modernisation, the programme will provide guidelines for the production improvement and amplification with a holistic approach. The ultimate objective is to encompass all aspects of feedstock supply, production and market supply of the charcoal.
