This report aligns to the framework of
structural transformation to identify opportunities for
development in the agriculture sector in the Western
Balkans, while also exploring patterns of trade and factors
for improving agricultural competitiveness in the region. To
build a pathway to modernization and to accelerate the
agricultural transformation in the Western Balkans, the
linkages between production, access to markets and trade
flows need to be better understood. Focused strategies and
interventions can improve the competitiveness of the
agri-food sector, with wide-ranging impacts on food and
nutrition security, export revenues and, ultimately, on
domestic jobs and economic growth. The report provides a
regional perspective on the challenges and opportunities for
the sector. It builds on information from a variety of
sources and own analytical work to address these knowledge
gaps and support the dialogue on the transformation of
agriculture into a modern and competitive sector in the
region. To the extent possible, depending on data
availability, country-specific inferences are also provided
to guide country-specific directions for improving the
productivity and competitiveness of the sector. The report
explores the structural dynamics of the sector rather than
EU pre-accession options. There is a wealth of information
on the challenges and opportunities for agriculture in the
context of EU pre-accession, both in terms of instruments
and measures, as well as in terms of policy and resources.
The value added of this report is the focus on structural
dynamics, productivity patterns and their drivers, as well
as multiplier effects and determinants of agricultural
competitiveness in the region. These are explored from the
perspective of pathways for change to accelerate the
structural transformation of the sector and increase its competitiveness. |
