Bogdanov, N., Faculty of Agriculture, Belgrade - Zemun (Serbia) | Moslavac, N.
Out of the total number of households in rural regions of Serbia (defined by OECD methodology), 583,000 (or 43%) have farm holdings. There are 328,000 farm holdings of up to 3 ha in size which accounts for 56% or the total number of households in rural areas. The above data shows that, there are a significant number of rural households with modest land resources. A significant number of those holdings will never be transformed into commercially viable enterprises based solely on food production. This is because of their limited potential in terms of scale, the strength and flexibility of the work force and the limited availability of additional assets and capital resources. It is evident that a series of simultaneous measures and activity are necessary to improve of current state in Serbia. Broadly speaking, the range of measures must be directed toward two main goals: An increase and a diversification in the income of small rural households; A decrease in nominal and concealed unemployment of household members.
