Agriculture can be qualified as a specific sector that represents an important part in implementing strategic vision of the Serbian economy's development. The reason for this is that over the past decades the accumulation that other sectors cannot provide has been drawn from this sector and that the great potential that Serbia possesses in this sector is not completely and adequately utilized. However, the development of this sector is burdened by the problems that have been created as a consequence of the impact of factors in the internal and external environment over the years. This points to the need for creating the efficient agricultural policy that will use transition as a chance for solving them and creating the conditions for agricultural development in Serbia through the adequate application of instruments. The aim of this paper is to point to the need for integral observation of Serbian agriculture development in the future through the analysis of trends in this sector, not only because of the strategic character it has, but because it can become an important producer of GVA (gross value added) jointly with the industrial sector.
Key Words: agriculture, Serbia, directions of further development

GLAVNI TRENDOVI I PERSPEKTIVE RAZVOJA POLJOPRIVREDE U SRBIJI
Poljoprivreda se može okvalifikovati kao specifičan sektor koji predstavlja važnu kariku u lancu za ostvarivanje strateške vizije razvoja privrede Srbije. Ovo iz razloga što se iz ovog sektora nekoliko decenija unazad crpe akumulacija koju drugi sektori ne mogu obezbediti i usled činjenice da veliki potencijal koji Srbija poseduje u ovom sektoru nije u potpunosti i na adekvatan način iskorišćen. Međutim, razvoj ovog sektora opterećuju problemi koji su nastali kao posledica delovanja faktora u internom i eksternom okruženju u dužem vremenskom periodu. To ukazuje na potrebu kreiranja efikasne agrarne politike koja će tranziciju iskoristiti kao šansu za njihovo rešavanje i primenom adekvatnih instrumenata stvoriti uslove za razvoj poljoprivrede u Srbiji. Cilj ovog rada je da, analizom trendova u razvoju srpskog agrara, ukaže na potrebu integralnog posmatranja njegovog razvoja u budućem periodu, ne samo zbog strateškog karaktera, već i zbog toga što može postati značajan proizvođač BDV (bruto dodate vrednosti) u saradnji sa industrijskim sektorom.
