  • Major producer and exporter of corn, wheat, sunflower, and soybeans;
  • Globally recognized for raspberries, apples, sour cherries, plums, and blueberries;
  • HACCP certification is mandatory for export-oriented food producers;
  • Specialized agricultural institutes providing strong scientific and technical support, with a focus on high-quality, environmentally sustainable seed development and advanced vegetable/fruit production.
  • Advanced agri-tech solutions developed by Institute
  • Expanding beekeeping and honey production;

Crop production

(cereals, fruits, vegetables, oilseeds, industrial crops)

Serbia has approximately 3.4 million hectares of agricultural land, including 2.5 million hectares of arable land, making crop production a cornerstone of the national economy. The country produces 6–7 million tons of corn annually and up to 3 million tons of wheat, positioning itself as a major grain exporter in Southeast Europe.

Serbia is also a significant producer of sunflower (700,000+ tons annually) and soybeans (500,000–700,000 tons) and is recognized as one of Europe’s leading exporters of non-GMO soybeans. The fertile plains with high-quality chernozem soil ensure stable yields and strong export potential.

Seed production

Serbia’s seed production sector combines decades of breeding expertise with advanced research and strict certification standards. The country produces high-quality, non-GMO seeds for cereals, oilseeds, vegetables, and forage crops, serving both domestic and export markets.

Development is driven by a network of specialized agricultural institutes, working alongside universities that educate highly qualified professionals, ensuring globally competitive and climate-adapted seed varieties such as…………..
