Although Croatia has ample resources that would enable it to supply the market with domestic products, the comparatively high cost of food production -- combined with steep tax rates -- make it cheaper to bring in food products from abroad.
Iako Hrvatska ima bogate resurse, koji bi joj omogućili opskrbu tržišta domaćim proizvodima, komparativno visoki troškovi proizvodnje hrane -- u kombinaciji s visokim poreznim stopama -- čine jeftinijim uvoz prehrambenih proizvoda iz inozemstva.
