Abstract

Recently, as it is known, the evaluation of the efficiency of agricultural enterprises is being more and more performed on the basis of multi-criteria analysis. With this in mind, this paper analyzes the efficiency of agricultural enterprises in Serbia based on the WASPAS method. The goal and purpose of this is to address this issue as thoroughly as possible and propose adequate measures to improve the efficiency of agricultural enterprises in Serbia in the future. The obtained results of empirical research using the given method show that the efficiency of agricultural enterprises in Serbia has recently significantly improved. It was the best in 2018. It was positively influenced by numerous macro and micro factors.
