“…Such evidences are also confirmed by previous studies on competitiveness of Countries in the Danube regions. For example the study [23] concluded that "In the following commodity groups in Serbia an increase of positive comparative advantage is present: milk and products, except butter and cheese; butter and other fats from milk; dairy spreads, cheese and curd, products of cereals, flour, starch; vegetables, roots and tubers, processed; fruit prepared and products; sugar, molasses and honey; chocolate and other food preparations with cocoa". In another analysis [21] have been using D'Agostino and Pearson omnibus normality test showing that the Balassa index value distribution in Romania does not deviate significantly from normality (K2 = 2.46 and p = .29).…”

The beekeeping sector is very complex, because of not onlythe diversity of bee products obtained but also the environmental services through pollination. Even if its direct impact on domestic economy and trade varies across countries, at micro-level, beekeeping creates well-being for communities, providing health products for population and decent revenues for farmers. It also supports the sustainability of rural livelihoods. In this context, the research subject is the analysis of production and trade of honey in three European Union Countries-Romania, Italy and Serbia-with a goal to consider the dynamic of supply and trade of honey and deduce potential opportunities for producers. The goal of the study is to draw implication from the results obtained, suggesting the concrete measures to improve the existing situation. Trade data are examined to get a picture of honey sector trends. An entire set of trade indicators related to honey were computed over the period [2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014][2015] and are presented in the chapter: value, amount, growth rate and geographic structure of export and import in the world and in selected countries for which the level of comparative advantages of exported honey was also measured using the Balassa index.

“…The authors Bozic and Nikolic (2013b) analyse the level of comparative advantages of Serbian agri-food sector on the global market and the major trading partners (the EU and the CEFTA member states), and the results show that the liberalization of the market led to certain changes in the comparative advantages of the agrarian sector. According to Ignjatijevic et al (2014), who analysed the level of international competitiveness of the processed food sectors for the countries of the Danube region, in Serbia there is an increase of competitiveness of the processed food sector measured by the revealed comparative advantages. Birovljev et al (2015) dynamically analysed the comparative advantages of the export of Serbian agri-food products in the regional countries, as well as the level of specialization in trade with these countries, and the doi: 10.17221/345/2015-AGRICECON results of their research showed that Serbia, although having the similar trade structure as the regional countries, owns comparative advantages in all regional countries, and as far as the level of specialization is concerned, in the most of the regional countries a high level of specialization is present.…”

Matkovski B., Lovre K., Zekic S. (2017): Th e foreign trade liberalization and export of agri-food products of Serbia. Abstract: Liberalization of the market, as a consequence of the achieved trade agreements with the members of the European Union and the Central European Free Trade Association, had a signifi cant eff ect on the foreign trade exchange of the Serbian agri-food products. In order to determine the liberalization eff ects on the export of agri-food products of Serbia, a gravity model of the export of these products is estimated using econometric methods for the panel data. In order to fi nd the sections, as well as the advantageous parts of the international market, the comparative advantages of agri-food products in the particular groups of countries are dynamically analysed using the index of the revealed comparative advantages, whereas the level of specialization in the international trade exchange of these products is analysed using the index of the intra-industry trade. In relation to the main objective of the article, which was to identify the eff ects of the foreign trade liberalization on the performances of the foreign trade in agri-food products, it may be stated that liberalization had positive eff ects on the intensifi cation of foreign trade with the analysed group of countries, as well as on the increase of the revealed comparative advantages of the agri-food sector in the world market.

“…Since the Danube region represents a potential basic and potential for the creation of a single market it is necessary to consider the level of competitiveness of the agricultural sector and take advantage of the development potential of the region. Achieving macro-regional competitiveness and regional coherence is important in strengthening international coperation (Ignjatijević et al, 2014).…”
