Expert: Trade with Russia drops by fifth

The drop in the value of the Russian ruble, an increase in the exchange rate in favor of the U.S. dollar, oil price decline and lower demand for imported products in Russia are listed as some of the reasons for the consequences Serbia's trade is suffering, Sevarlic told Serbia's state broadcaster RTS.

The only increase in Serbia's export figures was recorded with agricultural and food products (almost 6 percent), which is still lower than originally anticipated, he said.

Sevarlic believes that fruit and vegetable manufacturers and meat and dairy producers have the best prospects for export to the Russian market in case revitalization of the local cattle breeding industry proves successful. Still, additional investments in the agriculture sector will be necessary in the next three to seven years to achieve this goal, he noted.

This calls for constitution of logistic center s through the cooperative sector, and the production should be oriented towards the demanding and populous Russian market, Sevarlic said.
