GLOBALG.A.P. certificate; fruit production; highly developed economies; multiple linear regression.Abstract
The aim of the paper is to test the statistical significance of the impact of GLOBALG.A.P. certification in plant production, as well as the impact of the value of fruit production in Serbia on Serbian fruit exports to high-value markets in the period 2010-2021. For this analysis, a multiple linear regression model is used. It finds that the growth in the number of GLOBALG.A.P.-certified producers does not affect the value of fruit exports to high-value markets (p=0.817), nor does the increase in certified area (p=0.446). At the same time, the value of fruit production affects the export value of this sector to high-value markets (p=0.000). The β coefficients in this paper are tested using the t-test, and the regression model using the F-test.
