Abstract:
Production and catch of fish in Serbia increases from year to year, while in
the world it reached its peak at the beginning of this century. Serbia has
all the favorable natural and economic conditions for further development of
fishing. Out of total production, that is, annual fish catch in Serbia, the
greatest part is sold by organized purchase, lower part is exported, and the
reminder goes to the market through retail. It is well known that food
consumption, therefore fish consumption, depends on several factors such as
the production level, retail price, consumers purchasing power and their
eating habits. Therefore, when analyzing the tendency of production and
consumption of fish in Serbia, it is important to investigate the influence
of production, price and purchasing power of consumers on it. In order to
investigate the set objective, there were used corresponding quantitative
data obtained by Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia. On the basis
of the original data, there were determined certain parameters, which were
used as variables for calculation of correlational-regressive and maginal
analysis for determining the elasticity of demand and consummation of fish
per capita in Serbia. Production and catch of fish in Serbia tended to
increase during the observed period, with annual growth rate of 17.4%. Beside
the fact that annual growth rate is 4.8%, fish consumption per capita in
Serbia is still quite small (X=4.89kg), what is a consequence of population
habit to consume predominantly meat. In our study we have found out that fish
consumption in Serbia mostly depend on fish production per capita
(rxy=0.6364), as well as on groos (rxy=0.6045) and net (rxy=0.5969) earnings.
Also, it is determined that consumption elasticity has the highest growth in
regard to fish production per capita.
