In this paper, the growth factors of coffee processing companies in the Republic of Serbia were analyzed by panel data technique. The growth was measured by changes in sales, while as explanatory variables were defined the following: export, size, capital turnover, revenue cycle, current ratio (liquidity ratio), debt ratio and return on assets. The empirical examination was conducted on the basis of 160 observations of financial statements of companies in coffee market. The results show that coffee processing companies in the Republic of Serbia have an average positive growth rate (1.08) during period 2015- 2018. Growth of coffee processing companies is significant negatively related to size, revenue cycle and current ratio. On the other side, profitability measured as return on assets has positive significant impact on firm growth. The results show the performances of coffee processing companies during period 2015-2018 and the profile of growth factors as a prerequisite for companys development. This information can be useful for the large number of internal and external users of financial statements in the process of decision making.
