Farmer managerial capacities can be defined as “possessing appropriate person al characteristics and ability to cope with certain problems and opportunities, in the right way and at the right time.” Considering the significance of managerial capacities and the problematic state of the milk production sector, and the pressing need to boost its competitiveness, this study investigates the managerial capacities of milk producers in the Titel municipality, located in AP Vojvodina. The decision to analyze milk producers in Titel municipality is based on its higher-than-aver age number of milking cows compared to the national average in Serbia, leading to a substantial level of milk production. The objective of this study is to assess their managerial capacities, focusing on personal traits, skill sets, and the deci sion-making process. Following the identification of the producers’ managerial profiles, the study proposes specific recommendations aimed at enhancing these capacities to foster greater competitiveness in milk production. Data analysis in dicates that in addition to implementing strategies for improving milk yield and adopting advanced biotechnologies, strengthening managerial capacities, partic ularly in decision-making, is essential.
