Stories of successful clients – Ivan Tomić

Ivan Tomić from Cerov Dolac, Grude municipality, has been engaged in agriculture for many years. It is a continuation of the family tradition, the cultivation of peppers, corn and potatoes.

The Tomić household includes Mr. Ivan, his wife and mother. His wife helps him in his work every day, and in the period of larger volume of work he hires additional part-time laborers.

Given that the volume of agriculture that the Tomić family deals with is extremely large, especially when it comes to red peppers, the so-called “roge”, it is necessary to ensure a safe placement, which has been working positively for Mr. Ivan for years. The placement is done through a buyer with whom he has long-standing cooperation.

He mostly attributes his success in business to his love for what he does and to his great sacrifice.

Cooperation with EKI, whose client he has been for many years, is indispensable, and this cooperation is mutually satisfying. Mr. Ivan points out that, whenever necessary, he knows which address to turn to for additional funds. By using the EKI loans he bought additional machinery and expanded his business.

To everyone who plans to start the same or a similar business, Mr. Tomić says that it is necessary to invest a lot of effort and love, and from the fruits of the work the whole family can live very well.
