Livestock productionis important branch ofd agriculture in the Republic of Serbia. Over 700,000 households are engaged in this production, which is over 55% of total number of households. Livestock production provides necessary products (milk, meat, eggs) for nutrition of domestic population. Also, livestock production provides raw materials for food industry (dairy plants, slaughterhouses, meat industry, conditory industry and leather industry). Livestock production is expected to provide high quality products for export, primarily beef and lamb meat. Chance/opportunity for export exists also for cheeses of high quality (especially sheep and goat cheeses) of defined origin and quality. Republic of Serbia will in its near future become member of EU and WTO, which means that livestock production should prepare for competition on unique developed market, without ant state trade barriers. Serbia has been prepared for this since 2006, when it signed bilateral agreement on free trade with neighbouring countries - Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) and in this way became part of the market and accepted the competition rules on the free market.
