ZAJEČAR − CAPITAL OF SERBIAN EAST

with 3,500 sheep and 500 goats, 4,000 lambs and kids and
11,200 kilograms of wool (1987), broiler chicken farm in
Sa la š with 2,000,000 broilers or 3,500 kilograms of poultry
meat (1987), incubator station of the In sti tu te for Agricultural
and Technological Research in Zaječar, with 600,000
one day chickens...
A special place in the development of Timok agriculture
certainly belongs to the In sti tu te for Agricultural and Technological
Research. It was founded in late 1946 on the estate
and in facilities of the Junior Agricultural School as a District
Experimental Agricultural Station, with a mission to carry
out research of cultivation of agricultural crops. Eight years
later (1954), the experimental station grew into a scientificresearch
station, named In sti tu te for Agricultural Research.
During reorganization in 1959, it became an experimental
station for farming of the Corn In sti tu te in Ze mun Po lje.
Since 1961, it has been the In sti tu te for Agriculture again.
Zaječar agriculture is in the hands of private sector again.
Unfortunately, wars in the last decade of the 20th century
and sanctions against Serbia had severe consequences posle
di ce in this area as well. Agro-technology was reduced to
bare minimum, mechanization was obsolete, villages were
deserted and mostly left in the care of old people. Despite all
this, agriculture is an activity with highest possibilities for
progress, because most villages in Zaječar have all preconditions
for the production of organic food, which is very valuable
and, it seems, its price will continue to rise.
BAN KS
