Požarevac serves as the economic and administrative hub of the Braničevo District, characterized by a robust food industry and energy production. The city's flagship enterprise is Bambi, founded in 1967, whose biscuits and confectionery have achieved cult status across Southeast Europe. Beyond confectionery, Požarevac benefits from the fertile Stig region, which supports intensive agriculture and grain processing. Another critical pillar of the local economy is the nearby Kostolac energy complex, consisting of coal mines and thermal power plants that supply a significant portion of Serbia's electricity. The city also acts as a vital trade and transport junction between Belgrade and Eastern Serbia. In recent years, new industrial zones have been established to attract investors in packaging and metal processing. Požarevac effectively blends traditional agrarian roots with modern industrial manufacturing and strategic energy infrastructure.
