    The largest increase was also found for sheep meat, beef and pork, while in dairy production the largest increase was in goat milk, as well as production of cheese. According to the data of the Croatian Chamber of Economy, cited in the Ministry of Agriculture's Annual Report on the State of Agriculture in year 2018, it was pointed out that the annual value of the Croatian market of organic products is around 100 million EUR, which is certainly not negligible, while the share of consumption of organic products in total consumption is 2.2%. ...the aim of this paper is to present the state and perspectives of the development of organic livestock farming in the Republic of Croatia, by analyzing the period of the recent five years. (2016) limiting factors in the development of organic agriculture are depopulation of rural areas, unfavorable educational structure, insufficient education of farmers and consumers of organic products, problems with unresolved land ownership along with numerous cropped and scattered land areas as well as mined areas. According to the analysis of production over the past five years, the largest increase was recorded for maize (dry grain) by 395.36%, soybeans by 395.05% and wheat and spelt by 380.28%.
