Abstract

Serbia has on disposal great potentials for the popularisation and further development of agro-tourism. From the aspect of family farms, its' access to agro-tourism provides strengthening of farm sustainability throughout the gaining of additional incomes and full labour involvement of household members. The paper goal is to present the effects of utilization of production capacities and possibilities of certain farm in one segment of agricultural production towards the agro-tourism, as well as their contribution to the growth of total farm incomes. Specifically, in paper is presented the impact and economic effect of substituting the tomato supply channels used for agro-tourism activities on the farm, by the establishment of its own production in greenhouse. According to methodological approach, analysis of economic effects is based on the calculation of indicative cost price of the produced products at the farm. From the given example it could be seen that the organization of individual production lines, or several number of related agricultural production lines at the farm, with additional realization of gained final products (fresh and processed) through the agro-tourism, could offer multiple positive effects on the strengthening of farm sustainability.
