The shortage phenomena is manifested in the circumstances of depressed and economically unsustainable low prices of production inputs – raw milk, and quantity decrease, accompanied by changes in the structure of the milk products final production. Over the past five years, the Serbian government has led the wrong economic policy of the milk primary production incentives, and thus, the breeding of milk cows.
