Abstract

Small-scale producers of traditional food across the Europe are nowadays facing the challenges of having to meet many existing regulations and to acquire new knowledge on improved technological solutions related to their products, while at the same time preserving the tradition and the authenticity of their products. The research presented in this paper was aimed to detect problems and collect opinions from all stakeholders from this part of agro-food sector. The other aim was to provide business-related solutions for knowledge transfer, and concrete suggestions to enhance the business and marketing aspects of those traditional products to make producers more competitive or to keep them in the market at all. Project also aims to interlink European Research Sector and Traditional Food Industry on grain, fish, vegetables, mushrooms, sweet fruits and olives to improve transfer of knowledge for innovation. The expected result of the project was the establishment of the knowledge transfer network through the organization of different training and stakeholder workshops throughout the Europe. In this paper is showing the final deliverable of this project which is Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) for Traditional Food Industry. Serbia is involved in formation of sub-network “Traditional Products of Fruits”. Raspberry and plum are recognized as the most important traditional fruits. Information obtained through the project activities will be valuable for the creation of the National and European Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda for traditional foods.
