The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of gross investments and agriculture investments on the level of food security in the member countries of the European Union (EU) and non-EU member countries. In the paper as a method of research hierarchical regression analysis was used. The results of the research showed that there is a statistically significant influence of gross investments and agriculture investments on the level of food security in the EU and non-EU member countries. The largest amount of gross investments and investments in agriculture was recorded in Croatia and Slovenia, as a EU members countries, which have the highest level of food security. On the other hand, the lowest volume of gross investments and investments in agriculture was recorded in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as non-EU member country, which has the lower level of food security.</p>2023-12-23T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Economic of Agriculturehttps://www.ea.bg.ac.rs/index.php/EA/article/view/2221DETERMINATIONS OF PROFITABILITY IN THE AGRICULUTRAL SECTOR IN SERBIA 2023-12-23T10:50:34+01:00Ivana Miloševivana79.milosev@gmail.com<p>This research paper considers performance determinants at firm and industry level from the perspective of agricultural industry since this industry is recognized as one of key drivers of Serbian national economy. Sample is consisted of 115 large and medium-sized firms as they participate around 50% in total sector turnover, during years 2017 - 2021. The Generalized Method of Moments was used to analyze how firm factors (lagged profitability, leverage, labor cost, size, liquidity, sales growth) and industry factors (market share and capital intensity) affect profitability. Research results showed that profitability is strongly positively affected by its past values and stronlgy negatively affected by leverage, labours costs and industry factor capital intensity. The results suggest that internal factors are key determinants of the performance of agricultural firms rather than external factors and that leverage is the most significant determinant of profitability therefore managers should pay more attention to debt policy.</p>2023-12-23T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Economic of Agriculturehttps://www.ea.bg.ac.rs/index.php/EA/article/view/2239RISK EVALUATION OF LIVESTOCK COMMODITIES – VALUE-AT-RISK APPROACH 2023-12-23T10:50:31+01:00Dejan Živkovdejanzivkov@gmail.comNikola Jančevjancevn@gmail.comĐorđe Alavukdjordjealavuk@yahoo.comDragana Bolesnikovdbolesnikov@gmail.com<p>This paper tries to assess the level of losses that investors in four livestock commodities might have. The analysis comprises live cattle, feeder cattle, lean hogs and milk class III, and for the risk calculation, we use parametric and historical VaR measures. Full sample is divided into pre-crisis and crisis subsamples. According to the results, lean hogs are the riskiest asset in the pre-crisis period, regarding both parametric and historical VaR. In the crisis period, milk is the riskiest asset in terms of parametric VaR in all probability levels. However, in terms of historical VaR, lean hogs have the highest potential of loses between 90-97% VaR, but at 99% VaR, milk takes upper hand. In the crisis period, the level of losses for lean hogs and milk exceeds 4% in one day at 99% probability, which means that these commodities should be hedged if investors want to avoid great losses. The results indicate that parametric VaR significantly deviates from historical VaR in both subsamples, which means that investors in livestock commodities should use historical VaR for downside risk measurement.</p>2023-12-23T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Economic of Agriculturehttps://www.ea.bg.ac.rs/index.php/EA/article/view/2245MANAGING THE PRODUCTION PROCESSES - OPTIMIZATION OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS OF BANANA RIPENING BY APPLYING THE SIMPLE ADDITIVE WEIGHTING METHOD 2023-12-23T10:50:23+01:00Ivan Stojanovićstojanovicivan44@gmail.comVioleta Jovanovićvioleta.jovanovic@metropolitan.ac.rsAleksandar Manićaca.manic.za@gmail.com<p>The realization of company goals is greatly influenced by the manager’s decisions in the activities of managing production processes. To make decisions, managers use different decision-making methods, taking into account different criteria on the basis of which they choose the best alternative. The paper presents the optimization of the technological process of banana ripening using the simple additive weighting (SAW) method. The research monitored temperature correction, ripening gas dosage concentration, duration of treatment, commodity loss, including correction of accompanying factors of green banana fruit ripening. By applying the SAW method on 400 performed ripenings in the period from 2017 to 2020, the best results were achieved at a temperature of 18.5 °C, with an ethylene concentration of 840 ppm, process time of 112 h and achieved kalo of 233 kg. The total cost of ripening based on the examined parameters is 250.12 € which can save 81.42 € and meet the finishing standards.</p>2023-12-23T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Economic of Agriculturehttps://www.ea.bg.ac.rs/index.php/EA/article/view/2244DOES TRANSPARENCY PAY OFF FOR GREEN BOND ISSUERS?

Ljumovićisidora.ljumovic@ien.bg.ac.rs<p>This paper investigates the impact of transparent allocation of proceeds on green bonds’ yields, providing insights to green bonds’ issuers for optimizing their financing terms. Using data from the EU state agencies’ green bond market, we applied a Prais-Winsten regression model with correlated panels corrected standard errors and common AR(1) to estimate the relationship between green bonds’ yields and various factors, including the transparency of proceeds. Transparent allocation of proceeds has a negative effect on green bonds’ yields, confirming that investors require lower returns when they are well-informed about a bond’s environmental goals. Additionally, higher credit ratings, and shorter remaining maturity are associated with lower green bonds’ yields. Transparent use of proceeds significantly influences green bonds’ yields, demonstrating that specifying the use of bond proceeds for environmentally friendly projects can lead to more favorable financing terms. Future research direction should provide additional classification of the green bonds’ transparency.</p>2023-12-23T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Economic of Agriculturehttps://www.ea.bg.ac.rs/index.php/EA/article/view/2246CROP ATTRIBUTES, FARM DECISIONS CROP SPECIFIC POLICIES IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABILITY OF PRODUCTION IN ETHIOPIA 2023-12-23T10:50:21+01:00Mohammed Endris Harunmohzein1@yahoo.comBelaineh Legessebelaineh.legesse@gmail.com<p>Ethiopia’s government has created a number of policies and programs to address the urgent issue of rising food prices. Extension and regulation initiatives aiming at influencing the production and marketing are frequently used in conjunction with them. However, lack of indices on relative importance of individual crops results poor policy outcomes. Analyzing household decision dynamics and how household decisions respond to policies is crucial to reduce persistent complaints from recipients and avoid negative policy outcomes. For this study, data from 392 randomly chosen households of Kewot woreda was used. Sorghum found with higher calorie index per profit while mung bean was found higher profit index. Crop diversification found inefficient that arise from profitability differences and return to scale. Additionally multiple objectives could be met using tradeoffs among different crop benefits. This study also summarizes major findings from previous crop-related policies and linked them to specific crop characteristics. It is advised that policies be adjusted to reflect the value, character, and utility of crops.</p>2023-12-23T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Economic of Agriculturehttps://www.ea.bg.ac.rs/index.php/EA/article/view/2248MODIFICATION OF THE COBWEB MODEL INTO GENERALIZED LOGISTIC EQUATION FOR THE WHEAT PRICE ANALYSIS 2023-12-23T10:50:18+01:00Jelena Stanojevićjelenas@ekof.bg.ac.rsNemanja Vuksanovićnemanja.vuksanovic@ekof.bg.ac.rsKatarina Kukićk.kukic@sf.bg.ac.rsVesna Jablanovićvesnajab@ptt.rs<p>In the paper we constructed the new wheat growth model, based on the generalized logistic equation. Starting from the theoretical framework of the cobweb model, we adapted generalized logistic equation to better fit the real data of wheat prices, according to the presented wheat growth model. The aim of the paper is to present how logistic and generalized logistic equations can be used for both prediction of wheat prices and for the wheat price stability analysis. Data analysis showed better performances of the generalized logistic map in comparation with the conventional logistic map as a main result of this paper. For estimated parameters of the model the bifurcation diagrams also have been presented to show stability of wheat price over time. The conclusion is that the proposed model can be useful in predicting future wheat prices in the short-run period, as well as for the analysis of stability in conditions of uncertainty, which is also a recommendation for the application of the model in the future research.</p>2023-12-23T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Economic of Agriculturehttps://www.ea.bg.ac.rs/index.php/EA/article/view/2251ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PROFIT AND FINANCIAL POSITION IN THE PREDICTION OF BANKRUPTCY IN THE MEAT PROCESSING BRANCH 2023-12-23T10:50:11+01:00Miroslav Čavlincmiros@gmail.comJelena Vapa Tankosićjvapa@fimek.edu.rsRadomir Jovanovićradomir.jovanovic@pr.ac.rsMarko Pavlovićmarkopavlovic25101982@gmail.com<p>The issue of solvency, i.e. the risk of bankruptcy of the company, is always a subject of concern for management and stakeholders, especially creditors and investors.

Thus, it is known that the business entity is responsible, which enables it to fulfill the basic goal of business, which is to make a profit. The subject of research in this paper is the impact of socially responsible business on the market position of business entities. The authors specifically investigated the application and impact of socially responsible business rules on the position of agricultural farms in the territory of the municipality of Ruma. The instruments used in this research are a survey of farm owners and other stakeholders, an extensive literate review and a method of comparative analysis. The results of the research show that compliance with the rules of business ethics, in the long term, brings more profit to the business entity, so compliance with those standards is becoming more and more universal. That is why agricultural producers follow the rules of socially responsible business. The authors concluded that the social responsibility of business entities is an ethical demand that society places on them, a correlation with two demands that they are already faced with: economic - gaining profit and legal.</p>2023-12-23T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Economic of Agriculturehttps://www.ea.bg.ac.rs/index.php/EA/article/view/2266A CONTEMPORARY BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF CULINARY TOURISM LITERATURE 2023-12-23T10:49:51+01:00Miljan Lekovićm.lekovic@kg.ac.rsNemanja Pantićnemanja.pantic@kg.ac.rsTanja Stanišićtanja.stanisic@gmail.comSonja Lazarevićsonja.milutinovic@kg.ac.rs<p>Culinary tourism is recognized in academic literature as an initiator of cultural revitalization, social and economic development, as well as a source of recreation, entertainment, socializing and learning.

It is responsible for decreased milk production, reduced milk quality, and increased treatment costs. Thus, early detection and prompt treatment are essential to prevent the infection and minimize the mastitis impact. This study aimed to determine how farm size affects the prevalence, effect, and cost of mastitis. Therefore, a total of 4,922,751 test-day records for dairy Simmental cows collected in the period 2005-2022 were analysed. Results showed that mastitis was most prevalent among small farms, which also exhibited a lower total increase in milk production.

The pervasive challenge of debt negatively impacts farmers’ livelihoods and agricultural sustainability, creating a cycle that hampers investment in modern farming technologies and sustainable practices. The study highlights the disproportionate access to credit, with institutional lenders favoring semi-medium, medium, and larger farmers, while small and marginalized farmers resort to non-institutional sources with higher interest rates. This unequal access perpetuates financial strain on the latter group. The findings emphasize the urgent need for government intervention and institutional support to assist marginalized and small farmers. The study advocates for comprehensive measures, including risk mitigation strategies, enhanced credit access, minimum support prices, and sustainable agricultural policies, to break the cycle of farmer debt and ensure the well-being of those crucial to our food systems.</p>2023-12-23T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Economic of Agriculturehttps://www.ea.bg.ac.rs/index.php/EA/article/view/2242MITIGATING SPATIAL DISPROPORTIONS IN AGRICULTURE THROUGH REVEALING COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES 2023-12-23T10:50:28+01:00Vasilii Erokhinbasilic@list.ruDenis Samyginvekont82@pnzgu.ruAndrey Tuskovtuskov@pnzgu.ruAnna Ivolgaivolga.ag@stgau.ru<p>Spatial development of agriculture has always been among the core agendas of food security. Amid the increased volatility of food markets globally, low diversification of agricultural production depresses competitiveness and flexibility of farmers. To narrow spatial development gaps, the study presents the five-stage approach to revealing territory-specific competitive advantages in producing nine categories of agricultural products. The data is collected across all administrative territories of Russia categorized according to the cadastral value of farmland. The revealed mismatches between the parameters of food self-sufficiency, productivity of crops, and profitability of farmers show that agricultural policy should aim at stimulating production of competitive products with due account to the spatial features of agriculture to ensure the highest return per unit of inputs along with adequate accessibility of staples for consumers. Determining proportions in which agricultural facilities should be allocated across territories would allow governments to tailor the resource provision programs, including subsidies to territories, agricultural sectors, and individual producers.</p>2023-12-23T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Economic of Agriculturehttps://www.ea.bg.ac.rs/index.php/EA/article/view/2249POLICY INSTRUMENTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL TOURISM IN THE LEAST DEVELOPED AREAS OF SERBIA: THE EXAMPLE OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF MEDVEĐA 2023-12-23T10:50:16+01:00Tijana Ljubisavljevićtljubisavljevic@singidunum.ac.rsMiroslav Kneževićmiroslav.knezevic@singidunum.ac.rs<p>The paper analyzes the instruments of rural tourism development policy in the least developed areas of the Republic of Serbia on the example of the Municipality of Medveđa.
