Problems and perspectives of agro-industrial sector in Republic of Serbia and measures for overcoming crisis

Abstract

The paper concludes that the concept for improving export of agro and food products, apart from the stable and sustainable production growth, requires the export structure adjustments in line with the demand requirements on the global market. Also, the paper points out that the improvement of the export competitiveness may be acquired by using one's own comparative advantages, based not only on agro-economic potentials but also on: technological improvement, improvement of educational concept, application of adequate management and organizational knowledge and experience, etc. One of the aspects which are investigated in detail in the paper is the impact of the climate change on the agro-industrial sector. This impact will have a growing effect in the future, so the agro-industrial sector has to be ready to adapt to the consequences of the climate change which are inevitable. The adjusting is regarded through improving the water preservation systems and through rescheduling seeding of certain plants, etc.

U radu se zaključuje da koncept za povećanje izvoza poljoprivrede i prehrambene industrije, pored stabilnog i održivog rasta proizvodnje, podrazumeva i prilagođavanje strukture izvoza ove vrste proizvoda zahtevima tražnje na svetskom tržištu. Takođe se ističe da unapređenje konkurentnosti izvoza može da se ostvari korišćenjem sopstvenih komparativnih prednosti, koje su zasnovane ne samo na agroekološkim potencijalima već i na: tehnološkoj modernizaciji, poboljšanju koncepta obrazovanja, primeni adekvatnih upravljačkih i organizacionih znanja i iskustava i slično. Jedan od aspekata koji je u radu posebno proučavan jeste i uticaj klimatskih promena na agro­industrijski sektor. Navedeni uticaj u budućnosti će imati sve veći značaj, tako da agroindustrijski sektor mora biti spreman za prilagođavanje posledicama klimatskih promena do kojih će neminovno doći. Dato prilagođavanje može se vršiti kako preko poboljšanja sistema očuvanja vodnih resursa, tako i preko pomeranja setve određenih biljnih sorti i drugih mera.
