Abstract

The development chance of sustainable agricultural production in Serbia lies in expanding the production of medicinal and aromatic herbs. Serbia’s advantage in the production of medicinal plants is also reflected in the favorable geoclimatic situation and plant biodiversity at its disposal. The collection and cultivation of medicinal plants in the context of sustainable agriculture has its own important place. Individual cultivated medicinal plants can, on a relatively small area, very quickly, with an organized and safe market placement, provide a return on invested funds with a solid profit. In the plans at the level of Serbia as a country, funds are foreseen for the expansion of this production in the context of diversifying the income of agricultural producers. In addition to production, more and more manufacturers decide to process medicinal raw materials and, in this connection, preparations are placed on the market, both domestically and internationally. The aim of this paper is to review the purchasing and production possibilities and capacities of the Republic of Serbia in terms of medicinal plants. The range of medicinal and aromatic herbs and purchase prices on the domestic and foreign markets will be considered.
