“…Agriculture is an important sector for the Serbian national economy, judging by numerous indicators, such as the share in gross domestic product, employment, exports, revitalization of rural areas (Bogdanov, et al, 2015;Nikolić et al, 2017;Volk, et al, 2019;Zecević et al, 2019;FAO, 2020;Dašić, Stanić & Živković, 2022). As part of agriculture, fruit production is extremely important, and local producers relatively successfully use favorable natural conditions for production and achieve international recognition and competitiveness, especially in the berry sector (Stojanović & Radosavljević, 2013;Grčak et al, 2019;Zecević et al, 2019;Marković & Marjanović, 2021;Dašić, Stani & Živković, 2022;Paraušić, 2022). The importance of fruit growing for the national economy is reflected in the achieved export value in this sector, its share in the positive balance of foreign trade, the stimulation of employment in rural areas, the smooth supply of fresh and processed fruit to the national market and other positive impacts in the sector of agriculture and rural development (Grčak et al, 2019;Zecević et al, 2019;FAO, 2020;Marković & Marjanović, 2021;Paraušić, 2022).…”
