The Impact of Agricultural Performance on Foreign Trade Concentration and Competitiveness: Empirical Evidence From Romanian Agriculture

The subject of this research is cattle breeding with a focus on the production of cow's milk in the Republic of Serbia. The main goal is to analyze the state and trends of cow's milk production in Serbia during the last ten years in relation to production in Europe, the European Union and the world. Data from the SORS, FAO databases, etc. were used. In Serbia, 908,102 head of cattle are raised on 177,552 family farms, ie, an average of 5.11 head of cattle per farm. The number of cattle has dropped by more than 200,000 head over the last decade. In the total milk production in Serbia, cow's milk accounts for 96.84%. The average milk yield of cows in Serbia is far below the European average. The highest average amount of milk is recorded in the Belgrade region, where 5,335 liters per milking head are produced in one year. The quality of cow's milk in Serbia is far below EU standards, which is a key restriction on exports.

“…In the European Union, the common market includes both agricultural production and trade in agricultural products (Cvijanović et al, 2012). Agricultural trade represents in the functional and highly competitive contemporary economies a viable tool in the process of valuing the national agricultural potential (Andrei et al, 2020). The objectives of the EU's common agricultural policy are: to increase agricultural productivity by advancing technical development; rationalization of agricultural production and optimal use of factors of production, especially labor; ensuring in this way an adequate standard of living for the Economics of Agriculture, Year 68, No.…”

Rural areas in Republic of Serbia and Republic of Srpska, but also in the surrounding countries, are rich in natural resources suitable for agricultural and rural development. The authors of the paper performed a comparative analysis of agricultural development and the possibility of influencing rural development in Serbia and Republic of Srpska. In addition to the available secondary documentation, they used data from FAOSTAT (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). The authors conducted a survey in the rural areas of the two countries during 2019, on a total sample of 215 respondents, farm owners. The obtained data were analyzed in the SPSS software, version 23.00. The descriptive statistical analysis gave an insight into the shortcomings of agricultural development, while the paired samples t-test confirmed the hypothesis of the existence of a statistically significant difference in certain categories.

“…The common market organisation shall be limited to the achieving the objectives of the common agricultural production and shall exclude any discrimination between producers or consumers within the union (Treaty 2010/C 83/01, art.40). Accordingly, the topic of this research relates to the organisation of the common market on the principle of competition rules (Andrei et al, 2020). The method of formation of concentrations also represents the basis for distinguishing possible types of concentrations (Ciutacu & Chivu, 2014).…”

Purpose the paper should confirm that concentrations of economic entities, which perform agricultural or other activities, in addition to distorting competition, are frequent cases of competition protection on the European Union market. Methodology the paper uses dogmatic and normative method that highlights existing legal solutions and indicate the directions of de lege ferenda solutions and method of content analysis. Results Concentrations of business entities are playing an increasing role in the world economy and law. The process of globalization of international trade and increasing competition among businessmen, especially in the countries of the European Union, have contributed to this. Conclusions Concentrations of business entities are important in creating market monopolies and they represent means of protecting the global market. Recommendations an important aspect of the concentration is its compatibility with the global market, otherwise, the application of temporary measures is recommended in order to restore the previous state.
