Abstract

The aim of the research was to analyze the production, trade and consumption of cucumbers in Serbia in the period 2013-2022 using a quantitative research method. The results show that in relation to import and export, cucumber production in Serbia is declining. A surplus of over 6,191.00 tonnes, i.e. 1,083,000.00 dollars, was achieved in foreign trade in this vegetable, with a large fluctuation in the shortage. The self-sufficiency of these vegetables in Serbia was constantly growing and was on average over 100%, while the consumption of these vegetables showed a continuous decline in the same period with an average of 5.77 per capita. The largest importer of cucumbers from Serbia is Albania with an average import of 4,057 tons, while the most important export destination of this vegetable is Germany with an average export of 9,137 tons. The research is significant because it provides a solid basis for future rational planning and decisions in Serbian vegetable production.
