Serbia: Fishery Products. Fish and Seafood Market Situation in Serbia, 2008. GAIN Report No. RB8011

摘要

The Serbian fish and fishery products market size in 2007 was around $125 mil. whereas imported fish and fishery products share is almost 68 percent. Limited domestic production and increased market demand provide very good potential for fish and fishery products import. Fish import in Serbia has grown from $30 mil. in 2004 to $84.6 mil. in 2007. Only 3.7 percent from the total quantity of fish imported into Serbia in 2007 come from USA. The US total exported value of fish products to Serbia in 2007 was 11 percent higher than in 2006 but 4.6 percent lower in volume. Considering the increasing trend of fish consumption, low and slow increase of fish production in Serbia, better living conditions, it is realistic to expect that imports of fish and fishery products will increase in the future and more diversity of fish products might be in a demand.
