Success Stories of EKI Clients – Golub Kalinić

Golub Kalinić from the vicinity of Gradiška has been involved in agriculture, specifically the cultivation of flowers and vegetables in open fields and greenhouses, for many years. Mr. Golub gained experience and acquainted himself with agriculture from an early age, which is why he chose it as his profession. He started with the cultivation of vegetables (peppers, cabbage, potatoes, wheat, corn), and later, with the help of his wife, expanded production to include flowers and watermelons.

The Kalinić spouses receive assistance in their business from one of their sons, while the other is currently studying medicine. It is a fact that a considerable amount of effort and work needs to be invested in the business, but it is also a fact that a decent living can be made from this work, sufficient to support their son's education.

EKI loans played a significant role in the development of their business. Mr. Kalinić invested the funds in planting and the purchase and maintenance of machinery. As a member of the EKI Business Club, he advertised his products through EKI classifieds.

They are extremely satisfied with their sales, as they have regular customers to whom they sell at the market, and a significant number of customers come directly to Kalinić for on-site purchases. They also participate in many flower festivals, which is a combination of beauty and utility.

From all the mentioned, and as Mr. Golub himself confirms, the key to his success is the will to work, persistence, love for the job, and, as one of the most important factors, family unity and mutual support.
