Summary/Abstract: Grape growing is an important sector of Yugoslav agriculture. In 1969, it accounted for 4.4 per cent of the physical volume of total agricultural production, 7.7 per cent of the physical output of crop production, 3.8 per cent of the total deliveries of agricultural produce, and 4.8 per cent of the total exports of agricultural produce. In the same year vineyards covered a total area of 255,000 hectares, or 2.5 per cent of total arable land. As a result of increased production and higher incomes per inhabitant, per capita grape consumption rose from u6.5 kg in 1959 to 13.7 kg in 1969.
