Food Prices in Serbia: Will They Skyrocket Like the Rest of the World? Minister Glamočić Breaks It Down!
Everyone’s freaking out about food prices soaring worldwide. But what about Serbia? Dragan Glamočić, the Minister of Agriculture, has some news that might just calm your nerves.
Serbia’s Got Reserves, Chill Out!
While global food prices are climbing, Serbia boasts enough reserves of strategic products like wheat and corn. Glamočić assures us that although food prices will rise, they won’t hit crazy extremes. Your basic groceries won’t become luxury items overnight.
Global Chaos, But Serbia Stands Strong
The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported record-high prices for meat, vegetable oil, and eggs in June. But Serbia, as a food-exporting country, has surpluses and stable supply. Even if yields drop, Serbia will have enough food for its people.
Raspberries Are the Oddball, But Don’t Sweat It
Raspberry prices are currently high, but that’s a special case. Glamočić says any price jumps for wheat, corn, and flour will be minimal. So, no need to panic about bread or milk prices.
Rain and Irrigation – Nature and Economics at Play
The minister highlighted that some rain in the next 10-15 days would be great since plants have their own protection mechanisms. Also, it’s not rational to irrigate all crops – even the richest countries don’t do that. About 90% of Serbia’s production is covered by irrigation, which is enough.
The State Has Farmers’ Backs
Farmers face extreme weather, but the government supports them. Glamočić is optimistic – Serbia can overcome challenges and ensure food for everyone.
Bottom Line
While the world panics about food, Serbia holds the reins. No need to fear shortages or wild price spikes. But if your bread feels pricey, maybe you’re living in a different reality.
So, what do you think? Trust the minister or brace for hunger? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s right!
