Descripción
During the process of transition in many countries, many small farms are left at the side of the road by bigger food processors, retailers and exporters. This is also the case in Serbia, and in light of this, the objectives of this study are: to better understand the importance of small family farms and SMEs in Serbian agriculture, to better understand the main food sub sectors and the institutional environment, and to try to identify effective forms of vertical cooperation. The methodologies us ed to achieve these objectives include: literature reviews, use of published data, interviews with managers of SMEs and large food processing companies and retail chains, and case studies.
