As Europe seeks to build a more sustainable and resilient protein supply, alternative proteins are gaining increasing attention as a way to reduce environmental impacts, strengthen food security and decrease dependence on imported protein sources. While plant-based proteins remain central to this transition, new opportunities are also emerging in areas such as insects, algae and proteins derived from waste streams.

Our study examines Serbia's potential role in Europe's protein transition. It highlights the country's strong position as a leading producer of non-GMO soy in the region, explores opportunities to diversify protein production, and assesses the regulatory, market and investment landscape. The study also identifies promising areas for cooperation between Dutch companies, knowledge institutions and Serbian partners.
