Fruit growing and viticulture from the standpoint of future development of Serbia

Abstract

The aim of the study was to analyze trends of intensivity of fruit growing and viticulture production in Serbia considered to be of major importance in agricultural production. Yield and production data in fruit and viticulture growing were analyzed for the period 1970-2005. Positive agri-policy measures and systemic solutions at the Republic level may contribute to the spread of biodiversity of the productions (including processing capacities). Thus Serbia would rank high and may be expected to play the leading role in the production, processing and export of fruit and grapes both in the Balkans and Europe.

Osnovni predmet istraživanja u radu jeste analiza kretanja intenzivnosti voćarsko-vinogradarske proizvodnje u Republici Srbiji, kao jednom od suštinskih relativnih i apsolutnih pokazatelja poljoprivrede. U radu su analizirani prinosi i proizvodnja u voćarstvu i vinogradarstvu u periodu od 1970-2005. godine. Pozitivnom razvojnom politikom i sistemskim rešenjima na nivou Republike mogao bi se sačuvati, ali i znatno proširiti biodiverzitet ove proizvodnje (sa proširenjem pratećih kapaciteta za preradu) čime bi Republika Srbija imala mogućnosti da postane jedan od vodećih centara za proizvodnju, preradu i izvoz voća i grožđa i to ne samo na Balkanu, već i u Evropi.
