The goal of this paper is to present the main features of sheep and goat production in Serbia and compare results with EU countries. The most important sources of data were statistical data (from statistical yearbooks and agricultural census) as well as FADN data for the European Union. It was determined that number of sheep in Serbia increases in recent years while number of goats declines. Sheep and goats are breed mostly in statistical region Serbia South. In the paper are discussed the most important features of these productions and it was determined that other counties in region share the same challenges. Situation in sheep and goat production in EU countries significantly varies concerning many factors such as stocking density, average number of livestock units, subsidies and value of milk production.

Since investments represent a basic material factor of socio-economic development, their volume, structure and efficiency largely affect on how will be and until what level will be solved basic issues of sustainable development of agriculture, as within the Danube region, as well as in whole Republic of Serbia. Having in mind the perspectives that come for Serbia from the process of European Union (EU) enlargement, as well as that in sustainable development of agricultural husbandries investments will play a key role, borders of this study are framed by forecast of future investment trends in agriculture within the Danube region in Serbia. For forecasting of future investment trends in agriculture of Danube region in Republic of Serbia was used scenario analysis based on two methodological approaches. First methodological approach tries to answer the question: What could happen? Second methodological approach aims to answer the question: What would have to happen if we want to achieve certain strategic objectives?

Sweet corn is not commonly produced at Serbian family farms, although it has a significant economic potential. Besides, there is a lack of research related to economic performance of the sweet corn production. Therefore, the goal of this research was to determine economic effects of introducing sweet corn in the sowing structure of specialized field crops farms in Serbia. The analysis was performed on the model of family farm specialized in the field crops production. Determination of average gross margin for appropriate field crops was followed by the optimization of farms' sowing structure (by applying linear programming approach). Authors analyzed three variants depending on sweet corn participation in the sowing structure. It was determined that the optimization itself increases the use of labor force and positively influences the level of farm gross margin. By combining the optimization with the introduction of sweet corn in the sowing structure even better results are achieved. Therefore, family farms specialized in the field crops production should be encouraged to extend their sowing structure by producing sweet corn. The paper offers an important insight into the combination of crops which can improve an overall economic performance of family farms.

Investments are precondition for profitable, efficient and sustainable agricultural production. As a consequence of market liberalization Serbian farmers are competing with EU and neighbouring farmers, therefore it is important to compare investments in Serbian farms with investments in farms in neighbouring countries which have already became EU members (Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria). The goal of this research was to analyse investments in the most important farm types in Serbia (mixed type of farms and farms specialized in crop production) and to compare it with appropriate investments in above mentioned countries. To achieve this goal authors used FADN methodology and relevant EU and Serbian databases and publications. The research results revealed that investments in Serbian farms are similar or even higher comparing to investments in observed countries, although level of investment's subsidies in Serbia is modest. Net investments are especially high for mixed Serbian farms, allowing development of even less present livestock production types. Future research should be directed towards evidence and comparison of subsidies on investments according to FADN methodology in Serbia and EU countries.

Various types of extensive livestock production are present worldwide, primarily in regions where natural resources such as pastures and meadows could be used. Extensive livestock production is common in the EU, as well. Therefore the goal of this research was to establish economic efficiency of extensive livestock production types and to compare their efficiency with some intensive livestock production types. In order to achieve that goal FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) methodology was used. Source of information was FADN database as well as appropriate sector analysis and publications of European commission. It has been determined that sheep and goat production is competitive with intensive production types (dairy and granivores – pigs and poultry). Cattle production (other than dairy production) proved to be economically inefficient due to low output level.

Utvrđeno je da govedarska proizvodnja (koja se ne odnosi na proizvodnju mleka) nije ekonomski efikasna usled niskog nivoa outputa koji ostvaruje.

Sheep and goat production is different from other types of livestock production (cattle, pig, poultry production) because it is most commonly extensive, which means that it demands a relatively low level of investments into buildings, equipment and other fixed assets. This paper aims to analyse characteristics of investments into the sheep and goat production in the European Union and compare them to the similar investments in the Republic of Serbia. In order to analyse the state in the EU, data from the appropriate FADN data base were used, as well as the sector analyses conducted for the area of the EU. On the other hand, in order to analyse necessary investments into sheep and goat production in Serbia, available technical and technological data and appropriate literary sources were used. Analysis of construction costs for buildings used in sheep and goat production was done, as well as the calculation of investments into appropriate necessary equipment. It has been noticed that there is a need for enlargement of the sheep and goat farms in Serbia in order to provide a proper living standard for holders of such enterprises. ; Ovčarska i kozarska proizvodnja razlikuje se od ostalih važnih vrsta stočarske proizvodnje (govedarstva, svinjarstva, živinarstva) po tome što je ona najčešće ekstenzivna, odnosno zahteva relativno nizak nivo ulaganja u objekte, opremu i ostala osnovna sredstva. Cilj rada bio je da se sagledaju karakteristike investicionih ulaganja u ovčarsku i kozarsku proizvodnju u Evropskoj uniji i uporede sa sličnim ulaganjima u Republici Srbiji. Da bi se sagledalo stanje u EU, prvenstveno su se koristili podaci iz odgovarajuće baze podataka FADN-a (engl. Farm Accountancy Data Network), kao i sektorske analize koje su provedene za područje EU. Sa druge strane, za sagledavanje potrebnih investicija u ovčarstvo i kozarstvo u Srbiji upotrebili su se raspoloživi tehnički i tehnološki podaci, kao i odgovarajući literaturni izvori. Izvršena je i analiza troškova izgradnje objekata za ovčarsku i kozarsku proizvodnju, kao i proračun investicija u odgovarajuću neophodnu opremu. Uočena je potreba ukrupnjavanja ovčarskih i kozarskih farmi u Srbiji u cilju obezbeđenja odgovarajućeg životnog standarda za nosioce ovakvih gazdinstava.

Cattle production is the most present traditional branch of agriculture in Serbia, and special consideration was given to milk production as essential ingredient for the food security of the country. After World War II, since 1949 development of dairy industry in the former Yugoslavia began. From then on, in the field of milk production and processing many changes have occurred. However, due to accession to the European Union, in the following years this sector will go trough significant changes because of harmonization with strict standards laid down in EU member states. Adoption of regulations and the compliance with the standards in the field of agriculture, agro food industry will get better quality raw material that will increase its competitiveness. The paper analyzes the current situation in milk production and standards that are needed to improve the quality of milk, with the aim of improving the competitiveness of milk production and the competitiveness of the food industry, which relies on this production.
