Synopsis (short abstract) This report aims to present the experience of food export promotion (EP) in Serbia with the objective of disseminating good practices for the development of a food export promotion strategy in the Republic of Moldova. Serbia is a good source to research EP, since the country has made many investments in institutional development, budgeting and programming and applied many different measures to support EP. There are many successful stories but also many mistakes that Serbia has made in the last t en years of its EP programme for agricultural products. Several institutions were involved in EP in Serbia and this report will discuss their role, achievements and the problems they encountered. Specific focus is given to the measures implemented in the last ten years, providing an overview and an assessment of the measures taken. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are provided based on interviews with main stakeholders in EP and an analysis performed by the author.

    There is broad agreement that interventions to support exports of agricultural commodities have the potential to distort competition on world commodity markets. In particular, the use of export subsidies can displace not only third-country exporters but also domestic producers in importing countries, with particularly detrimental effects to the development prospects of developing countries. In principle, it is also possible that other government interventions, e.g. through the use of export credits, the activities of state trading enterprises, or the use of food aid to dispose of surplus production, could have similar effects to direct export subsidies in distorting markets and trade flows.

    Increasing exports is one of the most important priorities for governments and plays a prominent role in the development agenda in developing countries, high-income states and all countries between. On the other hand, pursuing the intensification of trade demands a deliberate policy framework tailored to country-specific needs and the interests of producers. In light of this, governments around the globe have developed various export promotion policies – some that share similar characteristics and others that are unique – that can serve as best practices to many. The purpose of this paper is to identify the best promotional practices implemented in different countries and share them with governments planning to adopt or review trade promotion policies and with stakeholders. In light of this, the paper analyses these policies from several points of view, including (1) their institutional framework; (2) practical examples of export promotion measures (such as procedures, grants, and technical assistance to producers); (3) financing opportunities for exporters (such as credit, insurance, and factoring); (4) and measures specifically implemented on internal markets. The paper is made up of the most relevant findings of case studies delivered by country experts from Poland, Austria, Estonia, Serbia, Chile and Brazil.
