Sažetak
Agricultural production has a very signifi cant share on Croatian economy. As in most developed countries of the world, it is of strategic importance to encourage and stimulate agricultural producers to achieve the maximum added value. Alongside other crops in Croatia, tobacco has, for several decades, occupied an important position in terms of added value, concerning the income it generates for its producers and for the processing tobacco industry. Despite the harmful eff ects of cigarettes on human health, tobacco is still a very important crop, and all forecasts predict that it will remain so for a long time. To maintain competitiveness in the production of cigarettes and other products, processing tobacco industry in Croatia must pay full attention to the quality of produced raw materials and yields, to be able to compete with the most developed countries of the world. With the application of modern techniques such as crop protection, fertilizing and modern irrigation systems, another important element in the production of tobacco is the human factor, i.e. the knowledge and expertise of the producers. Knowledge of production methods and new technologies cannot be possible without a certain level of education every tobacco producer should attain to be able to follow current trends and achieve a satisfactory level of production.Th e aim of the paper is to investigate the interrelationship between the quantity and quality of produced products and the level of education of tobacco producers in the cooperative base of Croatian tobacco Inc. Since it is one of the largest tobacco buyers in Croatia, it will be investigated how, and to what extent, the education of agricultural producers has an impact on their production volume and quality. The influence of this factor on the overall agricultural production of tobacco in Croatia will be analyzed, showing its high importance for the entire national economy.
