April 15 (SeeNews) - The Serbian government excluded organic food products from its ban on exports of basic foodstuffs prompted by the war in Ukraine, it said.
"Bearing in mind that organic production in Serbia takes place on small areas and that it is just starting to develop, as well as the fact that these products are mainly intended for export, the government concluded that exempting these products from the ban on exports does not harm the domestic market and the food safety of the population," the cabinet said in a statement on Thursday.

In a move to ensure stable prices and prevent shortages caused by disruption of supply channels as a result of the war in Ukraine, Serbia banned exports of vegetable oil, maize, wheat, and flour in early March.
Since then, the country has allowed limited exports to North Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, and Italy.
