Abstract
Starting from the fact that the amount and distribution of precipitations and the intensity
of drought, considering the condition and extant of the use of irrigation systems, result in
relatively low and unstable level of crop yields, the starting hypothesis of the research is
that the agro meteorological trends in the period 2007-2010 influenced the yield position
of the analyzed agricultural sector of Serbia. The aim of the paper is to determine the level
of impact of agro meteorological trends on yield position of the group of business entities
in the prevailing market conditions. The subject of the research refers to the analysis of the
operation of the Serbian agricultural sector under the following activity code 011-cultivation
of crops, plants and gardening. As the main source of data, the paper uses the summary
financial statements of a group of business entities from agricultural sector under the activity
code 011 and agro meteorological data for the period 2007-2010. By using the qualitative
and quantitative methods of financial statement analysis and the synthesis of research results,
the conclusion has been made that agro meteorological conditions in the observed period of
time and under the existing market conditions had a significant impact on the worsening of
yield position of the Serbian agricultural sector under survey.
