Resumen
Descripción
The process of transition and, within it, the agricultural transformation in the Western
Balkan countries resulted, in the first phase, in the weakening of the developmental
performances in agriculture. Such tendencies widened the gap between the countries of
the Western Balkans and the EU countries, which continued their steady increase in
agricultural productivity. Unfavorable tendencies in agricultural productivity adversely
affected its competitiveness, and, consequently, the competitiveness of the rural
economy as a whole. The effect of the low agricultural competitiveness on the
competitiveness of the rural economy is determined by the importance of agriculture in
the rural economy, which is substantial in the West Balkan countries.
