Crop production in the military institution 'Morović'

Abstract

The subject of the research in this paper is crop production in the military institution 'Morović', which is carried out in three plants: 'Karađorđevo', 'Grabovci' and 'Morović'. Enforcing the Public Procurement Law, the defense system procures primary food products in the civil market, and not from its own production, which made the military institution 'Morović' to place its entire crop production in the civil market. In the period from 2010 to 2013, the military institution 'Morović' farmed 2,494 ha whereas in 2014 agricultural area for farming increased to 5,134 ha. In 2015 the military institution 'Morović', as the subject of the state contract for business and technical cooperation with the company 'Al Rawafed Serbia' Belgrade, has handed over 3,534 ha of agricultural land in the plant 'Karađorđevo' to the joint company of the Republic of Serbia and the United Arab Emirates. In the period from 2013 to 2015, the profit of the military institution 'Morović' decreased by 62.2%, and the result of crop production in the same period decreased by 85.0%. During 2014, due to adverse weather conditions, crops were destroyed at 106 ha in the plant 'Karađorđevo', which decreased inflow of money into this institution.
