• High share of forests 58,4% (1.184.526 ha) of all state
• In 2010 74.460 farms with 486.470 ha agricultural land in use
• Only 35,8% of agiculture land in use are fields and gardens

Legume crops in crop rotation
- Input of N in soil via
Rhizobium (40-300 kg/ha)
- Improvement of fertility of
soils – positive balance of
humus, more earthworms
- Crop rotation
diversification, phyto-
sanitary effect,
- Deep roots and less
compaction of the soil,
better water capacity

Import of soybean meals in
2012 and origin According to data from
feeding companies is
import of soybeans meals
around 100.000 t.
According to statistical office
was import in 2012 in
code 2304 (oil meals from
soya,…) 230.780 t – out of
this 199.681 t from Brazil. But 135.535 t of it was exported from
Slovenia (Port Koper is entrance
for some others countries, too).

Should be animal origin products (milk, meat, eggs,…) labelled, if animals were
fed with GMO feed?
Possibilities for labelling in
Slovenia food produced GMOfree
• No production of GMO plants in Slovenia
• Private standard by IKC-UM (www.ikc-um.si)
• Registred logo for labelling
• Interest of consumers
• Interest of big diary – pilot project from March
2011 – the first certificate January 2012 Diary Celea
• 8,000 farms have in agrienvironmental scheme ban of GMO feed – 80,000 ha
• Beside on organic farms (3,500, 35,000ha) also in integrated production GMO is not allowed (6,000 farms, 60,000 ha) –
potential 18 – 20,000 farms with 170,000 ha
• Some feed factories do not use GMOcompounds for cattle.
Slovene activities

in Berlin by Minister of agriculture Franc Bogovič,
January 2013
Slovene activities
• Joint Declaration of the Ministerial Meeting “Regional
Cooperation for Protein Security in the Broader
Danube Region and the Southern European Regions”,
Moravske Toplice 23.8.2013
• Presentation of Danube Soya Association on Agriculture
Fair AGRA, Gornja Radgona 24.8.2013
• University of Maribor will become a member of Danube
Soya Association
Joint Declaration of the Ministerial Meeting “Regional Cooperation for
Protein Security in the Broader Danube Region and the Southern
European Regions”, Moravske Toplice 23.8.2013
The Ministers responsible for agriculture of the Broader Danube Region
and the Southern European Regions (AT, BIH, BO, CRO, HU, MO,
Bavaria)
1. Agree that the economic, environmental and social aspects of sustainable
agriculture have to be implemented in the relevant measures of the current
policies along the food value chain.
2. Acknowledge the importance of the preparation of national protein and
forage legumes strategy as a basis for the expansion of the protein crops
production in their countries and in Europe as a whole.
3. Emphasise the need for a European protein and legume strategy as a
framework for the appropriate measures and incentives of the new Common
Agricultural Policy 2014 –2020 (relevant for EU Member States) and will
fully utilize options in the new CAP to further the production of protein crops,
and forage legumes. Non EU-Member states will implement schemes which
dynamically promote protein crop and forage legumes production under
their national agricultural policies.
4. Express the importance for the cooperation in the common programmes with partner countries related to the research and development, production, processing and marketing of protein crops. forage legumes and soybeans in particular.
5. Support the initiative of European Soya breeders and researchers, who have come together under the Danube soya initiative (i.e. Danube Soya Association) to intensify research cooperation on (breeding, cultivation, irrigation, environmental aspects and processing) and will promote the inclusion of a call for protein crops and forage legumes under the new Horizon 2020 program. Non-Member states will encourage their institutions to take part in such research.
6. Underline the need to support training programmes for farmers, know-how transfer and best agricultural practices related to the protein crops production and processing e.g. such as the initiative by the Danube soya association.
7. Single out the consumer freedom of choice by creating a transparent international standard for the traceability for production, control and certification system of labelling of products as GMO-free for plant-based, processed and animal agricultural products. It is understood that labelling in question should be on a voluntary basis and is completely within discretion of respective national authorities.
8. Opine that concrete preparations for a common brand programme should be encouraged for use in each country including common standards of production, control, certification and monitoring.
9. Acknowledge the protection of the intellectual property rights and value of designing the common quality scheme for the Danube and the Southern European soya products.
10. Express their interest to be informed of the future developments of the Danube Soya and the Southern European soya project.
How in the future in Slovenia?
• Establishment of coupled support for protein crops in the
1st pillar of CAP and involving legume crops including soya in greening
• Support of research and knowledge transfer.
• Use of quality scheme “Brez GSO” form IKC-UM beside milk products also in other branches (eggs, meat,…).
• Labelling plant products without GMO and use of logo also on organic products – which is according to Slovene administration not allowed now.
• In local sustainable production should be non-GM animal feed minimum standard in assuring sustainability in so called environmentally and consumers friendly agriculture.
• In products with geographical origin also GMO should be forbidden.
Possibilities – potential
for Slovenia
• If there will be legume crops in the “greening” the Pillar 1
– in Slovenia are 1.668 farms having over 15 ha arable
area – it is 64.500 ha fields (38% of all in Slovenia) and
in the case of 5% - it could be 3,200 – 4,000 ha of
legumes
• If there will be also coupled support for protein crops –
we can estimate change up to 25% of corn with
legumes – it is potential around 20.000 ha.
• Rural Development Program can support also nonGM
products, if the state/ministry will decide so.
Thank you for your attention!
