abstract = "Hilly-mountainous region of our country extends over 14 areas and 52
municipalities in the two regions of central Serbiawith more than 1.200.000
inhabitants what makes 17% of total number of inhabitants in the Republic of
Serbia. Livestock breeding and processing of animal products are organised in
204.659 households which use 784.701 arable land on which they raise 251.245
cattle and 616.660 sheep and goats. Out of this number (204.659) 147.133 farms
or 72% out of total number have meadows and pastures at their disposal, 2.84
hectares per farm and total surface of 4.77 ha on average.
Majority of these households are engaged in making smaller quantities
of brined cheese in a traditional way mostly for their own needs but also for a local market and beyond (Sjenica, Zlatar, Zlatibor, Homolje, Svrljig, etc.), some
households are engaged in production of hard cheese - kachkaval (Pirot, Bela
Palanka, Dimitrovgrad) and in processing the sheep and beef meat (Sjenica,
Zlatibor, Pirot). Th ese households have preserved a tradition of raising cattle and
sheep and traditional way of making special kinds of white brined cheese and
kajmak, as well as special dried meat the products which are nowadays regarded
as real treasure of our country.
Organised goods production in the next period of development can be run
by 45.117 agricultural households whichnow raise 231.535 heads of cattle, 462.082
sheep and goats in total what accounts for 92% and 76% in total number of animals
in these regions, respectively. Th ese households raise about 5 farmanimalson
average, that is, 0.9 farmanimals per hectare of land surface.
By improved technology of utilisation of meadows and pastures and by
better organisation of production and processing of animal products and by
linking production and trade these households could off er to market about 1.2
billion kg of milk annually, 270.000.000 kg of brined cheese and about 72.600.000
kg of beef meat in halves and lambs in trunks for export.
Annual value of livestock production from hilly-mountainous region may
reach about one billion euros (about 912 million euros).
What should immediately be done in order that this pre-calculation be
successfully realised.
In the fi rst place, a farm land should be extended along with the number of
animals per farm and then the households should acquire a new equipment both
for production and native processing of products, then hygiene of raw material and
fi nal product should be improved while the producers should educate themselves
and improve their knowledge on animal production.
Secondly, an original principles of technology for all the products (brined
cheese, dried meat products, fattening bullcalves and young lambs) should be
improved while the information on the region of making and processing these
products should be stated visibly on wrapping material along with the information
on raw material. Moreover, a whole technological process should be equalised
at all stages of production and wrapping of product should also be paid a due
attention to, etc.
Th irdly, for all the products originating from autochthonous technology
it is necessary to establish general norms of classifi cation and standardisation
according to the international standards and regulations on autochthonous
production, geographical region and basic parameters of quality for each kind of
product.
It means that these products must have good marketing, promotion and
distribution in order to attain competitive price and win new markets and fi nally
to make profi t.
Th e state government should support this programme of development of
our hilly-mountainous region which is rich in natural resources while the people
there live in poverty.",
