Earlier Report Observations

The sorghum market in Serbia expanded from 8 596 tons in 2018 to 9 334 tons in 2021. This growth was driven by government subsidies under the Agricultural and Rural Development Strategy, which supported grain production, and research efforts that improved sorghum seed genetics for higher yields. The implementation of the new Law on Regulation of the Agriculture Products Market in 2021 introduced comprehensive rules for labeling, packaging, and market access, further stimulating market activity.

In 2022, temporary export bans on grains led to significant ending stocks and low market prices, reducing import volumes and pulling the market size down to 8 689 tons. The market recovered to 9 025 tons in 2023 as Serbia signed a Free Trade Agreement with China, setting the stage for future export opportunities. In 2024, amendments to food legislation and the implementation of the trade agreement with China, which eliminated customs tariffs on grains from July, continued to shape the regulatory landscape.
