The production of strong alcoholic beverages in Serbia has been growing at a rate of more than 10% per year for the last five years.
This points to the conclusion that the Serbian economy has realized its chance in this sector and on the global market, they say in the Serbian Chamber of Commerce.
Serbia is known worldwide for its plum production. Homemade brandy from this fruit is one of the best-selling alcoholic beverages in the world. Followed by brandy from apricot, pear, quince, raspberry, honey, walnuts, etc. A significant part comes from home crafts.
