Vegetable production in certain regions of Serbia plays a significant role for small farmers, so the Network for Rural Development of Serbia, based on a developed methodology, chose this value chain as one of the two chains for which a consultative process will be carried out with the aim of assessing the state and prospects for its development . The target group are small producers who are engaged in the primary production of vegetables, and a smaller part in their processing into traditional products, such as ajvar.

Based on the developed methodology, the Network for Rural Development of Serbia has chosen the value chain of the wine sector as one of the two chains for which the consultative process will be carried out, with the aim of assessing the state and prospects for the development of this value chain.
