Serbian agro-industry: Potentials and perspectives

Abstract

Summary This paper analyses agriculture and the food industry as dominant sectors of the

Role and Significance of Agriculture and Food Industry Exporting in the Development of Serbia

“…Namely, the productivity of our agriculture is better only compared to Poland. Added value per employee in the Serbian agriculture is 30.6 times lower than the one in Slovenia and 4.3 times lower than EU average (Savić et al, 2016). Official statistics on the volume and structure of export of agricultural and food products are presented in the export of dominant raw material (grains and sugar), that is, the products of lower processing level (Table 1), which has a negative impact on the competitiveness of Serbian agricultural production, i.e., agriculture, and added value produced from this economic activity.…”

“…O interesse pelo complexo industrial como campo de estudo tem emergido e crescido substancialmente em todas as partes do mundo. Em países localizados nos continentes europeus e asiáticos como Rússia (KORMISHKINA et al, 2014;FROLOV e LAVRENTYEVA, 2015;VOROTNIKOV et al, 2015;KADOMTSEVA, 2016;PROKHOROVA et al, 2016;DORZHIEVA, 2017;PANFILOV, 2017;BOGOVIZ et al, 2018;GONCHAROV, 2018;ANFINOGENTOVA et al, 2018;RODIONOVA, 2018;ZAKIROVA, 2018;KALYKOVA et al, 2018;VORONKOVA et al, 2020;ZAYTSEV, 2020), Sérvia (ADZIC, 2008;SAVIĆ et al, 2016) (TEMIRBEKOVA et al, 2014;KALDIYAROV et al, 2017;MADIYEV et al, 2018;KAIYRBAYEVA et al, 2018;KALDIYAROV et al, 2019), República de Bascortostão (KRIONI et al, 2017); Grécia (DANTSIS et al, 2009), Montenegro (RAGULINA, 2019), Letônia (BILOVOL e CHAIKINA, 2016), Mianmar (WOODS, 2013), Indonésia (MCCARTHY e ZEN, 2009), Malásia (PHANG, 1990;JAYAKUMAR et al, 2017), Tailândia (KANJANATARAKUL e SURIYA, 2012), Vietnã (ANH et al, 2011), Filipinas (MONTEFRIO e DRESSLER, 2018), Romênia (CUCUI et al, 2018), Espanha (GÓMEZ et al, 2010;MARQUES-PEREZ et al, 2017;EGEA et al, 2018), República de Altai (GLOTKO et al, 2018), Itália (SCHIEVANO et al, 2009DUDIN et al, 2016;VERGINE et al, 2017), regiões do mar Negro e mar Cáspio…”

Impact of commercial and investment activities in agriculture on local development

“…This is also reflected on the fact that agriculture is the important contributor to the total income of rural population (Zarić et al, 2016). In developing countries, amongst which Serbia, agricultural sector contributes more to the overall GDP per capita, compared to developed countries (Savic et al, 2016). Although rural areas are heavily dependent on primary production (Vukadinovic et al, 2017), cross-industrial effects on overall rural and national growth are also present (J. P. Brown et al, 2014).…”

“…Although rural areas are heavily dependent on primary production (Vukadinovic et al, 2017), cross-industrial effects on overall rural and national growth are also present (J. P. Brown et al, 2014). This effect is especially present in the processing sector (Savic et al, 2016), since agricultural products represent one of the most significant inputs for processing industry. These effects are transferred amongst different sectors through trade (Karp & McCalla, 1983).…”

“…This is not surprising, since the development of commerce and agriculture has always been interlinked throughout history, even from the earliest civilizations. Thus, many authors focused their research on specific intersections of these two sectors, such as international trade (Bessler & Babula, 1987;Goldberg & Knetter, 1995;Kristjanson, 1967;Lin et al, 2003) between agricultural and processing sector (Savic et al, 2016), the main idea in this paper was to investigate how these sectors are connected through commercial activity, and how they influence municipal economic development in Serbia. This was examined through the influence of relevant non-price structural factors related to agricultural and processing sector on the ratio between agricultural product procurement and overall agricultural production.…”
