TO BE OVER 6 BILLION DFNARS
Serge,? Kraigher, Chairman of the Slovenian Planning Commission, declared on
17 January 1950 that the 19k9 agricultural plan for Slovenia was carried out in the
following manner: farming by 133.9 percent, fruit growing 99.8 percent, vine grow-
ing 90.3 percent, and livestock breeding 95.4 percent. This gives a total index of
103.5 percent. Agricultural production, which reached 9,073,262,000 dinars in 1949.,
surpassed the Five-Year Plan, which ends in 1951, by 32 percent. However, if the
production of hay is included in the above figure, the production called for by the
Five-Year Plan has been reached.
In 1949, as compared to 1948, the state sector increased its total agricultur-
al area by 38 percent and its planted area by 69 percent; the republic farms in-
creased their total agricultural area by 15 percent and their planted area by 3
percent, and farms increased their total agricultural area by 146 percent and their
planted area by 166 percent. The number of horses in the state sector increased by
11 percent, on republic farms by 24 percent, and on farms type not specified] by
one percent. The number of cattle in the state sector increased by 90 percent, on
republic farms by 48 percent, and on farms by 190 percent. The number of pigs in
the state sector increased by 55 percent, on state lands by 133 percent, and on
farms by 18 percent. The number of poultry in the state sector increased by 143
percent, on state lands by 38 percent, and on farms by 437 percent.
In 1949 the 352 cooperatives in Slovenia, with 32,508 members, owned 75,681
hectares or 7.3 times more land than in 1948. The number of horses in the cooper-
ative sector increased 22 times from the beginning of 1949 until 31 December 1949,
the number of cattle increased 14 times, pigs 11 times, sheep nine .times, and poul-
try 7.4 times.
At the end of 1949, the socialist sector owned 12,4 percent of all the horses
in Slovenia, 6.3 percent of all the cattle, 9.3 percent of all the pigs, 5 percent
of all the sheep, and 3.6 percent of all the poultry.
The crop-purchase plan for grain was realized by 126 percent. so that the in-
dex for 1949 is 252 as compared to a base of 100 in 1948. The purchase plan for

cattle was realized by 102 percent, or 15 times more than in i9I8
pigs, which Is still in progress, has been carried out by 63.4 perceThe nt Purchase or
pigs and 85.6 percent for unfattened pigs. Thus 2.4 times more fat pigs and three
times more unfattened pigs were purchased in 1949 than in 1948.
The purchasing of potatoes, which is still in progress, thus far has been com-
pleted by 70 percent, and the index for 1949 is 144 as compared to 100 in 1948.
The 1949 purchase plan for milk was realized by 72 percent or by an index of 110.3
as compared to 1948.
Only 42 percent of the planned equipment for the exp)nitation of forests and
29 percent of the planned equipment for the lumber industry was acquired in 1949.
The lumber plan was quantitatively lowered by 20 percent and as regards value by
21 percent. The lowered plan was carried out by 100 percent in value, and by 92.7
percent in assortment. The plan for cutting and processing lumber was carried out
by 104 percent, the plan for removing lags from forests by 97 percent, and
the plan for shipping logs to main storage areas by 97 percent.
The construction plan for 1949 was realized by 97.5 percent as to federal in-
vestments, 98 percent as to republic investments, and 96 percent as to local in-
vestments.
Of the 2,079,000,000 dinars of the obligatory investment plan of republic and
local significance other than cooperatives, 1,950,000,000 dinars were realized in
1948. Cooperatives realized 284 million diners. The plan for capital construction
was completed by 100.6 percent, and for the social standard by 83 percent. The in-
vestment plan for agriculture was completed 100 percent by the state sector. The
lumber industry surpassed the plan by 10 percent. The investment plan for construc-
tion enterprises was completed by 180 percent, for forestry by 97 percent, and for
communal housing by only 73 percent; and for cultural and health activities the
plan was surpassed by 8 percent.
Local investment paid for 532 million square meters of construction, including
107 million square meters for capital construction, and 425 million square meters
for tna social standard.
The plan for the guaranteed supply for the population of Slovenia was realized
by 102 percent, for the supply according to tied prices by 101 percent, and for the
supply according to free sale by 98.5 percent, all of which average 100 percent.
The 1949 quantitative increase in the guaranteed supply as compared to 1948
was as follows (1948 c 100): cereal products 107, fats 111, and sugar 111. The
1949 increase in value included textiles 87 and shoes 122.
The supply of textiles was low because of the complete lack of imports from
Czechoslovakia.
The 1949 supply at tied prices was 3 percent larger than in 1948. Cooperative
farmers received a bonus of 58,297,000 dinars for goods sold betwecn 1 July 1949
ant 30 November 1949.
The turnover plan for free sale was 7,210,000,000 dinars, which represents an
increase of 8 percent as compared to 1948. Slovenia transported 1,339,000,000
dinars' worth of goods, or 32 percent of the total free market production, to the
other republics. About 4,560,000,000 dinars' worth of turnover on the free market
was from federal and republic production and from the turnover of products which
have only one price.
The government revenue in Slovenia increased 23 percent in 1948 as compared to
1947 and 21.9 percent in 1949 as compared to 1948. The revenue from republic pro-
duction increased 29 percent in 1948 as compared to 1947 and 18 percent in 1949 as

revenue from republic production, only 22,518,000,000 dinars, or 98.5 percent of
the plan, were realized in 1949. As regaris the total agricultural output, the
state sector provided 68.8 percent of the governmental revenue, the cooperative
sector 4.3 percent, and the private sector 26.9 percent. As regards republic
farms, the socialist sector alone provided 66.2 percent of the revenue, of which
65.7 percent is from the state sector, 5.5 percent from the cooperative sector, and
33.8 percent from the private sector.
Although farming is increasing from year to year, it is falling in comparison
to the growth of industry. In 1947 industrial production accounted for 43.7 per-
cent and farm production accounted for 22.2 percent of all new value. In 1949, in-
dustrial production accounted for 50.4 percent and farm production 19.6 percent.
According to the proposed 1950 plan, industry is to cover 52.5 percent and farming
only 18.6 percent. Even though farming will decrease in 1950 in relation to the
growth of industry, revenue from farming will be increased by almost 600 million
dinars, or by 9.7 percent as compared to 1949.
The plan for republic industry for 1950 calls for an increase of 8 percent as
compared to 1949. Thus the Five-Year Plan will be surpassed by 10 percent. The
metal industry must bring its planned production for 1950 up to 107 as compared to
the plan of 1949 (1949 r 100) and up to 116 as compared to actual production in
1949. The chemical industry must bring its planned production up to 113 as com-
pared to the plan of 1949 and up to 134 as compared to actual production iu 1949.
The textile industry must bring its planned production up to 106 as compared to
the plan of 1949 and up to 102 as compared to actual production in 1949. The leath-
er industry must bring its planned production up to 110 as compared to the plan of
1949 and up to 101 as compared to actual production in 1949. Thee production of the
food industry must be 98 as compared to the plan and to actual production in 1949.
The 1950 plan for local production will be 8 percent larger than in 1949.
The 1950 lumber production and forestry output is expected to be 15 percent
larger than in 1949. To accomplish this, it will be necessary to invest 88 million
dinars for the construction of forest roads and ropeways and for the acquisition of
trucks. Of the total budget called foi by the 1950 Plan, forestry will get 245
million dinars or 6 percent.
Agricultural production in 1950 is to ee increased to 10,119,000,000 dinars,
of which the state sector is to receive 735 million dinars, or 7.3 percent; the
cooperative sector 752 million, or 7.4 percent of the total agricultural produc-
tion; the socialist sector 14.7 percent; and the private sector 8,632,000,000 di-
nars, or 85.3 percent of the total production.
The 1950 plan for livestock breeding will be enlarged by 18.5 percent as com-
pared to the actual achievement in 1949. In the socialist sector the number of
horses will be increased by 26 percent, cattle 51.2 percent, pigs 184.8 percent,
sheep 337.5 percent, and poultry 247.5 percent. Of the total number of livestock
at the end of 1950, the socialist sector will have 15.5 percent of the horses, or
3.1 percent more horses than at the end of 1949; 8.8 percent of the cattle, or 2.5
percent more cattle than at the end of 1949; 22.2 percent of the pigs, or 12.9 per-
cent more pigs than at the end of 1949; 15.1 percent of the sheep, or 10 percent
more sheep than at the end of 1949; and 8.1 percent of the poultry, or 5 percent
more poultry than at the end of 1949.
It is expected that the planted area will be increased in 1950 by 12,000 hec-
tares. The area planted in hemp will be increased by 87.5 1.ercent, oil-producing
plants 27.5 percent, barley from none to 3,555 hectares, potatoes 6.5 percent, and
beans 37 percent. For livestock raising, 213 million diners will be invested in
1950.
The 1950 investment plan calls for 200 million dinars' worth of material for
capital construction in existing as well as for projected cooperatives, and for
190 million dinars of bank credit. The members of cooperatives must provide the

The 1950 plan for minim; will be increased by 524,000 tone, or by 20 percent
as compared to 1949. For that purpose 2,000 new workers will be needed. The
planned investments for 1950 amount to 696 million dinars, or 18 percent of all in-
vestments, and an additional 112 million dinars for housing for miners.
The 1950 plan for the electrical economy provides for 652 million dinars for
capital construction and 73 million for t;.e social standard. The production of
power is expected to be 1,020,000 kilowatt-hours, or 13 percent more than in 1949.
This year another unit of the hydroelectric power plant on the Savica River is ex-
pected to begin operation, and the construction of the hydroelectric power plants
at Moste, Medvode, and Vuzenica will continue through 1950.
For housing and communal improvements, together with similar construction in
connection with the electrical industry and mining, 600 million dinars will be in-
vested. Also, 970 million dinars will be invested for housing in 1950, or 19 per-
cent more than in 1949.
In 1950, 191,500,000 dinars will be invested for schools for higher education,
and 24,800,000 :inars for cultural purposes. The movie industry will be given
15,101,000 dinars in 1950.
The investments for the People's Councils in 1950 will be 509 million dinars,
of which Ljubljana alone will receive 175 million, or 34.5 percent of all invest-
ments earmarked for the People's Councils. Ljubljana Oblast is scheduled to re-
ceive 27 percent, Maribor Oblast 29 percent, and Primorje Oblast 9.5 percent of
the total investment. The city of Maribor will get 63 million dinars, or 43 per-
cent of all investments in Maribor Oblast. The total 1950 investments for the
Slovenian Primorje amount to 438 million diners. This amount includes 190 million
dinars of surplus from 1949. About 280 million dinars will be used for the build-
ing of Nova Gorica.
The total investments in 1950 will amount to 3,915,000,000 dinars, of which
67 percent will be used for capital construction, 33 percent for the social stan-
dard, and 34 percent for mines and the electrical economy. Together with federal.
investments, the total amount of investments for 1950 will be 6,542,000,000 di-
nars.
During the first 3 years of the Five-year Plan, 60 percent of the investments
provided for by the plan was spent. From that amount 65 percent was used for cap-
ital construction and 50 percent for the social standard. With the investments.of
1950, a total of 82 percent of investments for the first 4 years of the Five-Year
Plan will have been completed. Of that amount 86 percent will have been used for
capital construction and 73 percent for the social standard. In 1951 only about
18 percent of the investments called for by the Five-Year Plan will remain to be
made.
The plan for federal and republic construction, including the Ljubljana-Za-
greb Highway, the construction of which is supposed to begin this year, calls for
4,045,000,000 diners, or 40 percent more than was spent in 1949 and 28 percent
more than was spent in 1948.
