Abstract

The paper focuses on the research of support provided to agricultural farms (AF) in Serbia, which are, in this paper, considered as SMEs. The basic idea of this paper is to analyze the support that is necessary to be provided to the existing AF in modern Serbia, with the aim of improving the level of quality in managing their business. The intention of the authors is to: 1. Explore Afs’ expectations from support; 2. Determine the level of these expectations achievement; and 3. Determine the critical areas where support is not at an adequate level, all with the aim of successful (effective and efficient) planning of support to AFs. The results of this study are intended for AFs, the state and its institutions that provide support to AFs and other stakeholders.
