Vlahović, Branislav
The main goal of the research is to examine the trends and regional destinations of vegetable export from the Republic of Serbia. The paper identifies the problems and provides suggestions for increasing vegetable export. During the research period (2014- 2018) the average export of vegetables and processed goods was 87.4 thousand tons, with a tendency of a significant increase at an average rate of 17.2%. The value of the average export amounted to 39.3 million USD. The average import of fresh vegetables was 103.9 thousand tons, showing a slight growth trend at an average annual rate of 4.0%. The average import of fresh vegetables was valued at 62.1 million USD. The Republic of Serbia had a negative foreign trade balance for fresh vegetables in the amount of 16,473 tons. The value of the foreign trade balance was also negative in the amount of 22.8 million USD. The negative balance is certainly not justified given the potential for vegetable production in our country. The export growth can be achieved by increasing domestic vegetable production, by organizing associations of commercial producers, by increased support of the state institutions and by more intensive marketing.
