Earlier Report Observations
Serbia's chicory root production remained highly stable from 2018 to 2023, with annual volumes moving within a narrow band of 3 513 to 3 523 tonnes. This consistent output was supported by a foundational policy environment, including ongoing government subsidies for agriculture and a long-standing ban on the cultivation of GMO crops, which has favored traditional, non-GMO produce like chicory since 2009.
During this period, Serbian chicory exports saw a dramatic surge, with export value skyrocketing by over 1600% between 2017 and 2018 and growing another 212% in 2019. This spike in external demand highlighted the crop's competitiveness abroad, even as domestic production levels held steady. Broader trends, such as a global consumer shift toward natural ingredients and the expansion of large processors like BENEO, created a positive backdrop for the chicory sector.
The market demonstrated resilience through the early 2020s, maintaining its equilibrium without major swings. The stability reflects the sector's solid foundation under Serbia's agricultural support framework and the consistent underlying demand for chicory roots.
