Stanoje

Stanoje graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Niš. Currently, he works in the agriculture business, cultivating medicinal herbs. He is also the head of the Association for Medicinal Herb Cultivation.

The Serbia that Stanoje envisions for the future is a country where, when the municipality of Gadžin Han is mentioned, it is associated with medicinal herbs. ‘I would like the production of medicinal herbs in the municipality of Gadžin Han to be so well-executed and organized that Gadžin Han becomes synonymous with it. In Serbia, we often claim that agriculture is our primary asset, and while we do have some exports, we should be better organized and foster effective cooperation between science and production. Neither a farmer nor a minister can significantly improve exports on their own; it will only improve when they all collaborate to realize a given project.’

Serbia has significant advantages in healthy organic food production but struggles with disorganization and unfulfilled strategies. ‘First and foremost, we need to consider Gadžin Han. Despite being an underdeveloped and economically challenged municipality, it possesses ideal conditions for the production of healthy organic foods. What we require is efficient organization. We often discuss opportunities and the significant chances we miss. For instance, Russia is frequently mentioned in the sense that Moscow alone could consume our entire food production within a week. Furthermore, we have recently established positive diplomatic relations with China, offering us access to a vast market. Conversely, people are lamenting their inability to sell their livestock. They may have 20-30 young sheep, but claim that no potential buyers inquire about purchasing them. This indicates that communication between the ministries and farmers is not effective enough.’

Despite not considering himself overtly social, Stanoje enjoys significant popularity among local people due to his fervent passion for work and his willingness to help everyone, regardless of their political affiliations.
