Abstract

Fruit production is very important for the overall development of agriculture, where cherries, have become a very popular fruit species especially in recent years. For Serbia, cherries represent not only an important export product, but also a symbol of quality and a long production tradition. The paper analyzes the production of sour cherries in the Republic of Serbia in the period 2014-2023. Research focuses annual changes in areas under sour cherries in Serbia by regions, different statistical indicators of sour cherries production, or achieved yields. Observing the average values for the examined period, it was shown that Serbia is ranked as the sixth worldwide, towards to level of sour cherry production (128,712 t), while participates in global production with 9.04% (period 2013-2022., in line to FAO data). In average, areas under sour cherry trees in Serbia for the observed period 2014-2023., amounted around 18,240 ha. The average production for the same period was 125,214 t, while the average yield was 6.8 t/ha (period 2014-2023., in line to SORS data). The key factors for the improvement of sour cherry production are state subsidies for plantations establishment, credit support to agricultural farms, as well as the readiness of agricultural producers to advance current production and introduce modern and innovative technologies into production.
