The world and domestic markets for tobacco and tobacco products

Abstract

This paper presents a regional comparative analysis of the major indicators of both the world and domestic markets of tobacco and tobacco products. Namely, for the last 21 years, for the observed sub-periods, the method of comparative analysis were 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 tobacco and tobacco products were defined, with special emphasis on the 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. agriculture, agro-industry and the economy as a whole, this paper specially studies balances, structure, dynamics and regional orientation of foreign trade exchange in tobacco and tobacco products. 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 data regionalno-komparativna analiza važnijih pokazatelja svetskog i domaćeg tržišta duvana i prerađevina od duvana. Naime, za poslednjih 21 godinu, po posmatranim podperiodima, metodom komparativne analize izučene su kvantitativne i strukturne razlike u proizvodnji i prometu analizirane grupe 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 duvana i prerađevina od duvana, 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 poljoprivredu, agroindustriju i privredu u celini, u radu su pojedinačno izučeni bilansi, struktura, dinamika i regionalna usmerenost domaće spoljnotrgovinske razmene duvana i prerađevina od duvana. Osim toga, ukazano je i na potrebe, odnosno mogućnosti, mere i pravce daljeg razvoja domaće proizvodnje i izvoza predmetnih proizvoda. .
