| Title : | AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE DISTRICT OF NIKÅ IĆ, MONTENEGRO (1945−1955) |
| Abstract : | Between the two world wars, majority of the population in the District of NikÅ¡ić lived on agriculture, notably livestock breeding. During the World War II`, it was the livestock that suffered the major losses. The first post-war decade of development in the District of NikÅ¡ić had the character of general development of this branch at the level of Yugoslavia. The pre-war poverty and underdeveloped agriculture was emphasized even further with wartime destructions in the World War II. After the war, preference was given to industrialization of the country, thus slowing down significantly the recovery and further development of rural parts and agriculture. Industrialization, migration of population from rural to urban parts, failed state experiment with founding of farmers co-operatives, poor technical equipment and absence of qualified professionals in agriculture were the main reasons for poor agriculture development in the District of NikÅ¡ić in the period 1945−1955, despite the efforts of the state to improve the situation in agriculture by, among others, trying to modernize the process of farming of plant and animal species through establishing of renowned agricultural institutions, such as the Livestock Breeding Institute, the State Farm Kapino Polje, veterinary surgeries, etc. According to the Population Census 1948, the percentage of rural population in the District of NikÅ¡ić was 73.7%, and from that year onwards, the population started engaging in other economic activities, industrial, above all. |
