Guild Members are invited to apply for a place on a low-budget press trip to Croatia – but those wanting to attend should move quickly.
With Croatian agriculture still unknown to many, and the fabulous backdrop of Dalmatia and the Adriatic Coast as a location, this trip is likely to be a sell-out.
The five-day visit will take place from 6-10 June 2018.
It is being hosted by the Croatian Agricultural Journalists Association in conjunction with the European Network of Agricultural Journalists (ENAJ).
The Croatian association intends to showcase the diversity of their country’s farming with visits to a number of interesting food producers.
As well as farmers, these will include fishermen, cheese and winemakers, olive oil producers, and fruit and vegetable growers.
Visits will also take in a leading seed and plant breeding company, and meetings with a Croatian MEP and the deputy president of the Croatian Agricultural Chamber.
Rounding off the trip, ENAJ members will be guests of the country’s oldest agricultural radio show, “Za selo i poljoprivredu”, which will have as a special guest agricultural minister Tomislav Tolušić.
Organisers will cover costs of all meals, coach transport and accommodation.
Participants will pay a contribution of €100 per person, with a €60 supplement for single occupation.
The number of seats for the trip is strictly limited so applying for a place does not guarantee your place. Full details and an itinerary are available here.
To register your interest in attending, email the Guild’s ENAJ representative Adrian Bell at adrian.bell@agromavens.com by Monday, 30 April, at the latest.
