Data on expected production of wheat, raspberries and sour cherries, and areas sown with maize, sunflower and soya are presented as of 23rd May 2026.
According to the estimations of crops, the production of wheat is expected to be 3 845 thous. tons in the Republic of Serbia, which is a increase of 4.5% relative to the production output in 2025.
When compared to 2025, the production of raspberries is expected to increase by 14.6%, and production of sour cherries to by 96.3% respectively.
When compared to the previous year, estimations show that in spring sowing 2026 there was the decrease of maize by 3.8% ,soya by 7.5% , sugar beet by 5.7% and the increase of sunflower 3.5%
When compared to ten-year average (2016 – 2025), the production of wheat increased by 27.8%, and there was the increase of sown sunflower by 9.3% and decrease of sown maize by 3.6, % sugar beet by 24.3 % and of soya by 10.3%.
Starting from 1999 the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia has not at disposal and may not provide available certain data relative to AP Kosovo and Metohija and therefore these data are not included in the coverage for the Republic of Serbia (total).

Methodological notes:
Data presented in this statistical release are obtained on the basis of the “Survey of areas and crops at the end of the spring sowing”, estimations of agricultural expert counselling stations and other administrative sources on the expected production of wheat, raspberries and sour cherries, and areas sown with major crops at the end of spring sowing.
Sown areas are areas that are tilled and sown with crops, while harvesting areas are areas from which production is expected.
Yield per hectare is estimated on the basis of the plant structure, age, density, etc. taking into account agricultural practices and the weather.
When estimating, one supposes that production conditions will be optimal until the next harvesting period.
