The Agro Cluster of Serbia

At the end of 2017, The Agro Cluster Association of Serbia (AKS) was founded by three institutions: Produktna berza Novi Sad, The Institute of Agicultural Economics Belgrade and The Educons University Sremska Kamenica. Agro Cluster currently gathers 12 members, whose common mission is to create an adequate environment for the improvement of agricultural production, traders and processors in the agricultural market and to represent common interests before state institutions. The association helps its members in the process of applying for EU funds, with the organization of programs to improve the knowledge and skills of domestic companies in the field of agriculture and food production. In less than a year, the organization has established cooperation with 15 other associations and funds, as well as regional development agencies, and has succeeded in initiating and coordinating changes to regulations aimed at facilitating the trade of wheat.

Establishment and functioning of The Cluster

About founders
Produktna berza was founded in 1958 by the Government of the Republic of Serbia. Throughout its long existence, the commodity exchange has worked on economic principles and aimed to improve trade in commodities, especially agricultural products. Today, the commodity exchange has 150 members, from agricultural farms through warehouses, traders, to processors and exporters. In daily communication with them, the commodity exchange initiated the establishment of The Agro Cluster of Serbia with the aim of improving the business environment in the field of agro-industry in the Republic of Serbia.

The Institute of Agricultural Economics was founded in 1949. During its existence, as one of the oldest and most reputable scientific research organizations in the agricultural sector in the country, it has continuously monitored the economic problems of agriculture, analyzing them and giving suggestions for successful development of this important sector of the national economy. Initially, most of the activities of the Institute were related to the work realized for the needs of the then Council for Agriculture, and then cooperation was established with cooperatives and factories and intensive field and scientific research work began. Experts from the Institute will use their experience and knowledge to help the economy and other institutions in finding quality solutions for the agricultural sector through the Cluster.

Educons University in Sremska Kamenica, founded in 2008. A young university that bases its work on modern foundations and educates students in order to meet the needs of the modern market. Educons University has 11 faculties, and the education of students in the field of agriculture, IT and project management are just some of the segments that will help the work of the Cluster. Also, the expertise of professors from this University will be used for the purpose of quality education of cluster members.
