Croatia's food&beverage market is growing but not based on meat or fish
In spite of general beliefs, Croatians don't eat too much meat, revealed Darija Sokolovic, head of the Croatian Food Agency during a conference dedicated to food&beverage consumption in this country.
"Although Croatians are thought to be great meat consumers, they are at the bottom of the EU ranking in that regard. Western countries Austria, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy consume less meat than us, while the ranking is topped by eastern countries Romania, Hungary and the Czech Republic", declared Darija Sokolovic, according to Total Croatia News.
The same situation is reported in the Croatian seafood market, despite the fact that the country has its own coast at the Adriatic. "Only 16% of Croatian citizens consume sea fish, while freshwater fish is consumed by less than 5%", noted Sokolovic. Sea fish is consumed most in provinces of Lika, Istria and Dalmatia, while is almost ignored in Slavonia, shows data presented by the Croatian Food Agency. Also, freshwater fish is mostly consumed in Lika, while it is consumed the least in Istria.
When it comes to the menus preferred by Croatian people, most of the main meals are based on pork or chicken, chicken soup, pasta or baked potatoes, mixed salad, bread, an apple, a glass of mineral water or beer.
