Abstract

Abstract The agri SMEs in Kosovo are facing challenges that are reducing competitiveness and preventing it from fulfilling their production potential. The main constraints in increasing productivity and improving competitiveness are the low use of modern techniques and technologies in both production and management of enterprises, lack of funds, the low use of inputs, and the limited ability to meet international standards of food safety. This paper is focused on the analysis of the impact of agricultural SMEs in the rural economy of the country and the problems related to the impact. The data used for this analysis are the data conducted for the Farm Structure Survey (FSS) which includes the farmers’ list from Agricultural Records compiled by the Kosovo Agency of Statistics (KAS) in 2014, as well as the lists of beneficiaries for both direct payments/subsidies and for grants for the period of 2014 to 2017 received by the Agency for Agriculture Development. From the research results, significant factors having an effect on the annual income of agris SMEs are the following: income from the sale of agricultural products, income from subsidies, income from non-agricultural activities, income from salaries, remittances, and income from other activities.
影响农业中小企业绩效的因素——来自科索沃的证据
科索沃的农业中小企业正面临着降低竞争力和阻止其实现生产潜力的挑战。提高生产力和提高竞争力的主要制约因素是企业生产和管理中现代技术和技术的使用率低、缺乏资金、投入的使用率低以及达到国际食品安全标准的能力有限。本文重点分析了农业中小企业对我国农村经济的影响以及与影响相关的问题。本分析使用的数据是为农场结构调查(FSS)进行的数据,其中包括2014年科索沃统计局(KAS)编制的农业记录中的农民名单,以及农业开发署收到的2014年至2017年期间直接支付/补贴和赠款的受益人名单。从研究结果来看,对农业中小企业年收入有显著影响的因素有:农产品销售收入、补贴收入、非农业活动收入、工资收入、汇款收入和其他活动收入。
