SERBIA, A HIDDEN EUROPEAN WONDER

Welcome to Shijiazhuang Hongdefa Machinery.Co.Ltd.We are the best international manufacturers of all wheat, maize and corn milling machines. Originating in China we aim to spread our influence and cooperate with as many clients from all world round. Over the past years we have managed well to spread to various countries and we are proud and grateful of the successful relationship we have built with our clients. In the same spirit of spreading our wings to cover the globe, today we pay special interest to the country of Serbia , a hidden wonder situated in Europe.

Serbia is a country of rich ecosystem and species diversity – covering only 1.9% of the whole European territory Serbia is home to 39% of European vascular flora, 51% of European fish fauna, 40% of European reptile and amphibian fauna, 74% of European bird fauna, 67% European mammal fauna.[34] Its abundance of mountains and rivers make it an ideal environment for a variety of animals, many of which are protected including wolves, lynx, bears, foxes and stags.

Mountain of Tara in western Serbia is one of the last regions in Europe where bears can still live in absolute freedom. Serbia is also home to about 380 species of bird. In Carska Bara, there are over 300 bird species on just a few square kilometers. Uvac Gorge is considered one of the last habitats of the griffon vulture in Europe.

The climate of Serbia is under the influences of the landmass of Eurasia and the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. With mean January temperatures around 0 °C, and mean July temperatures of 22 °C , it can be classified as a warm-humid continental or humid subtropical climate. In the north, the climate is more continental, with cold winters, and hot, humid summers along with well distributed rainfall patterns. In the south, summers and autumns are drier, and winters are relatively cold, with heavy inland snowfall in the mountains.

Serbia has established diplomatic relations with 188 UN member states, the Holy See, the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and the European Union. Foreign relations are conducted through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Serbia has a network of 65 embassies and 23 consulates internationally. There are 65 foreign embassies, 5 consulates and 4 liaison offices in Serbia. The Chinese government has also established cooperation with the Serbian government. We look forward as Shijiazhuang Hongdefa MAchinery to also utiolize this oppotunity to expand our business into Serbia.

As of 2011 census, Serbia (excluding Kosovo) has a total population of 7,186,862 and the overall population density is medium as it stands at 92.8 inhabitants per square kilometer

Serbia has an emerging market economy in upper-middle income range.The economy is dominated by services which accounts for 60.3% of GDP, followed by industry with 31.8% of GDP, and agriculture at 7.9% of GDP.

Serbia has very favourable natural conditions (land and climate) for varied agricultural production. It has 5,056,000 ha of agricultural land (0.7 ha per capita), out of which 3,294,000 ha is arable land (0.45 ha per capita).[168] In 2016, Serbia exported agricultural and food products worth $3.2 billion, and the export-import ratio was 178%.Agricultural exports constitute more than one-fifth of all Serbia’s sales on the world market. Serbia is one of the largest provider of frozen fruit to the EU (largest to the French market, and 2nd largest to the German market). Agricultural production is most prominent in Vojvodina on the fertile Pannonian Plain. Other agricultural regions include Mačva, Pomoravlje, Tamnava, Rasina, and Jablanica.In the structure of the agricultural production 70% is from the crop field production, and 30% is from the livestock production. Serbia is world’s second largest producer of plums (582,485 tons; second to China), second largest of raspberries (89,602 tons, second to Poland), it is also significant producer of maize (6.48 million tons, ranked 32nd in the world) and wheat (2.07 million tons, ranked 35th in the world).Other important agricultural products are: sunflower, sugar beet, soybean, potato, apple, pork meat, beef, poultry and dairy.

Food industry is well known both regionally and internationally and is one of the strong points of the economy. Some of the international brand-names established production in Serbia: PepsiCo and Nestlé in food-processing sector; Coca-Cola (Belgrade), Heineken (Novi Sad) and Carlsberg (Bačka Palanka) in beverage industry; Nordzucker in sugar industry.Clothing and textile industry has seen a surge in recent years with significant greenfeild investments by foreign companies.Energy sector is one of the largest and most important sectors to the country’s economy. Serbia is net exporter of electricity and importer of key fuels (such as oil and gas).

Staples of the Serbian diet include bread, meat, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. Bread is the basis of all Serbian meals, and it plays an important role in Serbian cuisine and can be found in religious rituals. A traditional Serbian welcome is to offer bread and salt to guests. Meat is widely consumed, as is fish. Serbian specialties include caseless sausages made of minced meat, which is always grilled and seasoned, sarma, a dairy product similar to clotted cream, cheese and kajmak pie, a roasted red pepper spread, cornbread, and corn-flour porridge.

Due to the favourable conditions for agriculture in Serbia a huge oppportunity lies ahead for our company to expand into Serbia. We look forward to supply  the milling industry in Serbia with all wheat, maize and corn milling machines. As we all know a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. The first step Shijiazhuang Hongdefa Machinery will take into seeing that we establish a cooperation with Serbian millers is to attend the international agricultural affair in Serbia.

Due to excellence in its agricultural sector Serbia will host an International Agricultural Fair form the 15^th to the 18^th of May 2017. It will be our honor to participate in such an event and we look forward to meeting all the Serbian millers and all other international millers. Be sure to catch us there.
