Exports of pig meat did particularly well over the last 12 months with a recovery of +33% compared to the same period one year ago.

Monthly values for EU agri-food imports also increased in February 2017 compared to the year before (+1.5%) which means that the trade balance remains stable compared to February last year at €19 billion.

While the EU is more oriented towards exporting processed products, the imports from Serbia are mainly commodities and other primary products.
