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.
