In Slovenia, the market prices follow the trends at the key agricultural markets, globally or regionally important. Market prices of grain are following the trend and the level of EU average, prices of beef are below EU average while the market prices of poultry meat, pig meat and eggs are above the EU average. Slovenia stands out with its market prices of milk, which are among the lowest in the EU.

Slovenia is a net importer of food, as domestic production does not satisfy the total domestic needs (especially for vegetables, fruit, potatoes and pig meat). The long-term trend indicates that the self-sufficiency rate is higher and more stable for animal products (milk, eggs, beef and poultry meat), except for pig meat and honey, where the self-sufficiency rate is noticeably decreasing. In the analysed period, surpluses occurred only in the domestic production of milk, beef, poultry meat, in some years in eggs and honey, and in recent years in the production of grain maize.

In Slovenia, in 2023, 55% of children (0-14 years old) in larger cities were exposed to concentrations of 0-20 µg PM10/m3 and 45% of children (0-14 years) in larger cities were exposed to concentrations of 21-30 µg PM10/m3. In Europe, most children live in an environment where PM10 concentrations are below 26 µg/m3.

Asthma is the most common chronic disease among children and one of the major causes of hospitalization to the age of fifteen. In 2019, in EU countries, the share of people reporting asthma was 5,7 %, and for Slovenia it was 4,8 %.  In the period 2018-2022, the municipality of Kostel stood out in terms of the number of hospitalizations for asthma. Children admitted to the hospital for asthma in 2023 were mostly 5 to 9 years old.

Heatwaves have a significant impact on public health as they can lead to increased mortality. The most vulnerable groups include elderly individuals and patients with chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, respiratory illnesses, mental disorders, diabetes, and obesity. An analysis of the association between heatwaves and increased or decreased mortality (time series from 2020 to 2022) was conducted based on diagnoses (all causes, cardiovascular diseases), gender, and age group (all age groups and those aged 75 and older).
