Small farms, which are mostly owned by natural persons, characterize the agricultural sector of Serbia. In order for a family farm business or holding to be successful, the following factors can be distinguished: the yield and quality of the products achieved, the prices generated for the products, and, of course, the decisions that are made in order to make the management of the farm more efficient. Given that consumers of agricultural products around the world are demanding increasing product quality, farms should work to improve competitiveness based on quality. The subject of this paper is the importance of the quality of the products for the sustainable success of agricultural holdings in the Republic of Serbia. The main goal of this paper is to provide new knowledge in the field of quality of agricultural products of agricultural holdings with the aim of achieving sustainable success.

There is growing evidence around the world that the sector of small, medium enterprises and entrepreneurs (SMEs) has a very important role in the economic development of any country, whether it is about countries with developed economies, developing countries or countries in transition. In the Republic of Serbia, the sector of small, medium enterprises and entrepreneurs (SMEs) is also a very important factor in economic development. Today, this sector has a tendency to make more use of intensive production processes than large companies and thus significantly contribute to increased employment, income generation and poverty reduction. The paper deals with the analysis of the development of the SME sector in the Republic of Serbia with special reference to the period from 2015-2017.
