There is a significantly large, objective need for the agricultural insurance coverage in the Republic Srpska, especially in the environment of increasing climate changes. The insurance companies whose offer includes the insurance of agriculture are increasingly present and competing on the market, but the government also provides a big support by granting subsidies for agricultural insurance premiums. The author of this paper analyses the number and structure of agricultural insurance policies, the share of total agricultural insurance premiums in the non-life insurance premium total and/or the number of registered agricultural farms that benefited from the agricultural insurance premium recourses and/or took out the insurance coverage for their production. She concludes that the economic protection provided under the agricultural insurance cover has been underutilized in the Republic Srpska.

Organic agricultural production requires higher financial investments than conventional agricultural production. Seed prices are higher, labor costs are higher, and there is the additional cost of certification. That is why the existence of incentive measures of agricultural policy is necessary for organic agriculture. The aim of the paper is to present the incentives paid from the agricultural budget for organic agriculture in Serbia and Montenegro. The authors conclude that subsidies for organic agriculture, although they are paid continuously and are a significant incentive, have a small percentage share in the agricultural budget in both countries. In Serbia, 1% and 3% of registered farms in Montenegro practice organic agriculture.
