Trnavcevic told a press conference at the government building that this is a long-term document which will be in force for the next 20–25 years, affirming that it will most likely be completed by 20 November at the latest.
We believe that the revival of the agrarian sector depends on the awareness of Serbia’s immense capacity to become a major food exporter, therefore we must develop this only renewable economic branch faster than we have done so far, and bring new knowledge and technology into it, Trnavcevic observed.
He said the strategy will be written in a simple manner, that it will be easy to understand and read because the intention is to involve all citizens in this issue, including agricultural producers and consumers.
Trnavcevic pointed out that the strategy will outline what previous documents did not contain, such as the quotas Serbian agriculture could reach in the next few years and thus catch up with developed European countries in terms of crop yields, quantity of milk and meat and other parameters that are very important.
On 2 September, the Serbian government established the National Agrarian Council which should analyse the current situation in agriculture, agricultural production and the market of agricultural products in the country and prepare reports and measures for boosting agriculture in Serbia.
The Council should propose measures for encouraging development of agriculture and food industry, as well as systemic solutions and incentives for rural development and the empowerment of rural population.
This body, headed by journalist Zaharije Trnavcevic, has a total of 16 members who are top professionals in the field.
