Fuel prices could play an important role in the internalization of external transport costs, but this potential is not exploited in Slovenia. Determining the price of fuels has primarily an economic function and is not a tool of environmental policy. Fuel taxation is a function of the country's economic policy and responds to crude oil prices on the international market, which is a reflection of global supply and demand and geopolitical (in)stability.

In Slovenia, the average Corg stocks in the treated agricultural lands (KZ) to a depth of 30 cm was 92.9 t/ha, with the highest in the soils of marsh meadows – 197.0 t/ha. In soils with extensive use, including extensive orchards (ES), permanent grasslands (TR), land undergoing afforestation (ZR), and KZ overgrown with trees and shrubs (DG), Corg stocks ranged from 92.2 to 109.4 t/ha. Corg stocks in vineyard soils (VI), intensive orchards (IS), and arable lands (NJ) ranged from 60.0 to 92.7 t/ha.

Slovenia belongs to the EU Member States with a lower level of specialization in agriculture. This is reflected in the number of specialized farms and the surface area of agricultural land treated by these holdings. Specialized farms in Slovenia generate a smaller share of standard output than the average in the European Union, which indicates that the processes of concentration and specialization of agricultural production in Slovenia is slower than in European Union.

Changes in the size structure show that concentration processes are continuing regarding the extent of the agricultural land, while in the area of the livestock production these processes have slowed down. Nevertheless, due to its small size on average, the competitiveness of Slovenian farms is low compared to the EU–27 countries.

According to estimates, most of the food in Slovenia is imported. The share of food of domestic origin is decreasing in the long term. In 2022, only about one fifth of food is of domestic origin. Before 2004, less than half of the available food was imported, while after Slovenia’s accession to the EU, both import and export of food increased significantly. Exports increased mainly at the expense of unprocessed products, while imports increased at the expense of processed products.
