In the whole organic farming sector, the greatest land areas serve for the production of wheat which has been in constant growth in recent years. The aim of this paper is to show the dynamics of land area change regarding organic farming regions in Serbia for the period of 2012 to 2015. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection, total land area with organic farming status in Serbia is 15298.02 ha (data for 2015). The major part is used for organic wheat farming, with the share of 4251.94 ha. The Region of Vojvodina has the biggest organic wheat farming land area (4045.57 ha). The region of Southern and Eastern Serbia holds the second place (158.77 ha), followed by the City of Belgrade (31.45 ha). Finally, the region of Šumadija and West Serbia holds the last place with organic wheat farming land area of 16.15 ha. Considering remarkable natural conditions for wheat farming, our country does not take the full advantage of that natural potential despite the unsaturated global market for this kind of goods.
