Egg production in Serbia

SUMMARY Table egg production is a rapidly growing agricultural sector in the world, although is at a much lower level in Serbia. The total number of poultry in Serbia in 2018 was 16,232,000 birds, of which laying hens comprised 66.58%, broilers 30.05%, turkeys 1.27%, geese 0.46%, ducks 1.03% and other types of poultry 0.61%. The numbers of eggs in Serbia in 2018 decreased by 7.47% compared to 2006 production figures. This decline has been followed by an increase in imported eggs, particularly from EU countries (1033.9 t in 2018). Exports are mainly to signatory countries of Central European Free Trade Agreement, and, in 2018, and all eggs were exported to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Macedonia. Net trade was negative during the observed period, from −337.6 t in 2006 to −4225.3 and −2037 t in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Serbian egg producers face many challenges, including high production (especially feed) costs, low technology, lack of harmonised legislation within the EU and low retail price of eggs. Compound feed production is in decline, and the export of raw nutrients is at high rates (549,243.2 t in 2018). Improvements in feed processing and nutrition strategies may be crucial to develop table egg industry in a sustainable manner.
