Agricultural facilities in Croatia are expanding their operational capacities and processing capabilities. In Osijek-Baranja County, the Regional Distribution Center has reached 100 percent capacity, utilizing its full 2,910-ton refrigeration capacity. To support the center, the county has allocated 340,000 euros for maintenance and operations, with long-term goals to transition the facility from storage to a processing hub for products like apple juice.

In Opuzen, the Arivera Fruit purchasing center is managing the mandarin season with plans to pack approximately 10,000 tons of fruit for retail and export. Despite a severe drought, growers have maintained satisfactory yield quality. The center has recently invested in automation and modernized equipment to increase efficiency and has utilized a seasonal workforce including residents from the Neretva Valley and workers from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Nepal.
