Farming and mining remain most important in Serbia. Most workers are employed in manufacturing, which is concentrated in northern industrial zones. Manufactures include steel, iron, tranport vehicles and plastics.

Wheat, corn, sugar beets, herbs, sunflower and flax are the chief crops grown in the fertile plains of Vojvodina province where there are the most productive agricultural areas.

Serbia proper has extensive vineyards and is one of Europe's major regions for fruit growing (notably raspberries and plums) and vegetables. Serbia is the leading contry exporter of rasperries in the world /In 2009 Serbia exported 63.300 tons of the best quality raspberries/.

Serbia's mineral wealth includes coal and lignite, copper, gold, antimony, marble and millstone. Kosovo and Metohija is the poorest and least developed region although it does have huge coal and ore deposits. By the volume and quality of its lead-zink ore deposits, the Kosovo District ranks among the richest one not only in Serbia, but in the entire Europe.

The political turmoil of the 1990s greatly exacerbated Serbia's already severe economic problems....but we are optimistic and working hard !
