Managers represent the most important human capital and play a driving role in the efficient development of economic entities and agricultural holdings in rural development. Research in the paper aims to analyze and identify pos itive and negative trends, similarities and differences in the farm managers structure in the European Union and the Republic of Serbia. Research has confirmed the basic hypotheses. The comparative analysis confirmed that the EU and Serbia share similar characteristics, challenges and problems when it comes to the degree of engagement of professional managers on farms. The involvement of professional managers is directly related to the size and income of the farm. Large farms, due to the volume of operations, to a great er extent hire professional managers in business management. Medium and small farms are faced with numerous challenges in terms of unfavorable age structure, migration, inadequate educational level, gender structure, legal status of employment. This indicates the need for further research in encour aging and giving stronger support to the role of professional management on farms with the aim of sustainable, efficient, effective and profitable business in agribusiness.
