-46 In the year 1906, the value of animal products imported from Great Britain reached approximately £15,070. A large portion of these were for the cavalry in the occupation army. Most of the imports from British possessions in the Mediterranean included pigs from Malta and livestock from Cyprus, valued at £1,409 in 1905. The value of exports from Serbian livestock was better than that of Cypriot livestock, and the number of mules imported from Cyprus decreased compared to previous years.

The prices of butter rose, but its quantity did not increase. The prices of cheese also rose. England maintained its share of the increase in this category, with the value of imports increasing from £4,564 in 1905 to £5,817 in 1906. English cheese, which is superior in quality, is almost entirely imported from England. The increase in this category was 19.3%, and Great Britain's share of this increase was 75%. As for other goods in this category, their total value reached £1,566 after being £1,056.

Imports of flour decreased, but imports of wheat were higher than in the previous year, reaching £1,516 in 1906. English flour increased by £300, reaching £1,200, and did not exceed £1,000 before 1905. Wheat imports from Cyprus increased from £100 to £1,000, but Cypriot barley decreased by £100, reaching £500. Wheat imported from British possessions in the Far East was brought in a single shipment in October 1906, valued at £4,015, for the occupation army.

The sesame season in India was better than in China, with imports from India reaching £10,000 and from China £6,000. The decrease in all items in this category in the second half of the year was due to hardship. The imports from the former increased and from the latter decreased due to the competition of the Serbian market. The nationalists began to appreciate its value, and it is likely that the increase in this category was due to the cheapness of saddles.

As for grain imports, due to the state of the seasons in different countries, imports decreased.
