Abstract

In the paper, the authors analyse problems in the extension work and farmers’ needs on the basis of the empirical sociological survey that comprised attitudes of all the agricultural extension workers in Serbia. The survey has been conducted by the authors during 2008 in all of the extension offices in Serbia using the semi-structured questionnaire. The analysis reveals the regional specifics of the farmers’ needs and the problems that the advisors face in daily work, as well. According to the survey results there are three types of problems that are mutually connected: 1. general crisis of the agricultural sector, 2. problems regarding characteristics of farm holdings and farmers population in Serbia and 3. problems that are related to extension organization. Farmers’ needs analysis points to four dominant needs of farmers in Serbia: 1. farm management, 2. help in establishment of farmers’ cooperatives, 3. plant protection and 4. information and advice regarding the agricultural policy.
