Industrial Food Processing in a Changing Reality: The Impact of Demographic Change on Production

Summary/Abstract: Fishing is a historical feature of Izola’s local economy. During the 19th century, the fish processing industry started to develop in this area. Later, it expanded to agricultural production by also including meat, fruit, and vegetable processing. This industry and the associated fishing and agricultural production represented the primary source of the local population’s livelihood. The contribution discusses the impact of the Istrian exodus (i.e. significant demographic changes taking place between 1945 and 1960 in the Littoral region) on the food processing industry in Izola. This activity, which became even more dependent on manual labour and manpower in the period under consideration, faced various human resource problems during the process of dual (political and economic) restructuring of society, whose consequences were also reflected in the production of Izola’s factories/companies.
