The greatest profit from animal livestock production<br />

is found in West <strong>Serbia</strong> and Sumadija, especially in<br />

large farms. Furthermore, the proportion of farms<br />

selling livestock and livestock products falls as<br />

income generated from these farms grows. This is<br />

because of specialization of production on larger<br />

farms (Graph 15). The greatest profit by products is<br />

as follows: pigs (24 percent) and livestock products<br />

(milk, eggs, etc. - 25 percent).<br />

Previous research (Bogdanov N. <strong>2007</strong>, REC<br />

<strong>2007</strong>) indicate that the lack of a market was one of<br />

the significant barriers in development of<br />

agricultural households for half of households<br />

(Graph 16).<br />

According to the results of the above<br />

mentioned research, poorer farms sell their products<br />

to neighbours and on the green market (in villages<br />

or towns). Farms with greater surplus (of wheat,<br />

industrial oil and fattening livestock) sell their<br />

products to cooperatives or buyers/processors, and<br />

are bonded by contract and less exposed to market<br />

risks.<br />
