Position of Serbia on the international market of milk, dairy products, eggs and wool

Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the major indicators of both world and domestic markets of milk, dairy products, eggs and wool. Namely, for the past 20 years, for the observed subperiods, the method of comparative analysis was used to study quantitative and structural differences in the production and trade of analyzed product groups, at both the world and at the level of continents and some countries. The leading manufacturers and flows of international trade and the leading exporters and importers of milk, dairy products, eggs and wool were defined, with special emphasis on importance of Serbia, i.e. its position in the global market for these products. Pursuant to the above, and importance of analyzed product groups for the domestic market, i.e. agroindustry and the economy as a whole, this paper specially studies balances, structure, dynamics and regional orientation of foreign trade in milk, dairy products, eggs and wool. In addition, the paper points to the needs, capabilities, measures and directions of further development of domestic production and export of products analyzed.

U radu je prezentirana komparativna analiza važnijih pokazatelja svetskog i domaćeg tržišta mleka, mlečnih prerađevina, jaja i vune. Naime, za poslednjih 20 godina, po posmatranim podperiodima, metodom komparativne analize izučene su kvantitativne i strukturne razlike u proizvodnji i prometu analiziranih grupa proizvoda, kako na nivou sveta tako i na nivou kontinenata i pojedinih zemalja. Definisani su vodeći proizvođači, odnosno tokovi međunarodnog prometa i vodeći izvoznici i uvoznici mleka, mlečnih prerađevina, jaja i vune, s posebnim osvrtom na mesto i značaj Srbije, odnosno njenu poziciju na svetskom tržištu ovih proizvoda. Shodno prethodnom i značaju analizirane grupe proizvoda za domaće tržište, odnosno agroindustriju i privredu u celini, u radu su posebno izučeni bilansi, struktura, dinamika i regionalna usmerenost domaće spoljnotrgovinske razmene mleka, mlečnih prerađevina, jaja i vune. Osim toga, ukazano je i na potrebe, odnosno mogućnosti, mere i pravce daljeg razvoja domaće proizvodnje i izvoza analiziranih proizvoda.
