Abstract

Different association forms of agricultural producers (producer groups, cooperative societies and clusters) were considered in this paper, as well as the status of the Republic of Serbia and the town of Smederevo as a model in this field were analyzed. The authors pointed out to necessity of joining of interest in agriculture, which provides series of advantages to agricultural holdings, first of all, competitiveness in agro-food supply chain, as well as adding a new value in the value chain of agricultural products. The answer to the question what forms of association are the most adequate for agricultural producers of a certain town/region has to be given by producers perceiving numerous factors (which are the association goals, who associates oneself with who, etc.), as well as advantages and imperfections of every form of association.
