Increased concentration on the market often leads to a limitation of the market share of other market participants, with the increase in market share being mostly accompanied by growth in market power. The increase in market power and the dominant position of individual market participants do not always create adverse effects for other market participants and the overall economy. The paper will analyze the market concentration of agricultural enterprises in the period between 2011 and 2015. The sample consists of medium and large companies of sector A-Agriculture, forestry and fisheries with headquarters on the territory of AP Vojvodina. The analysis of the market concentration of agricultural enterprises is carried out with the aim of perceiving the concentration of large and medium enterprises, as well as the concentration of other companies from the mentioned branch in terms of number of enterprises, number of employees, total turnover and gross value added.

The aim of this paper is to identify and measure the impact of internal factors on the business success of meat processing enterprises expressed through profitability. Panel analysis was constructed for the sample which includes 24 enterprises in Serbia at the period from 2007 to 2016. The accounting rate of Return on assets (ROA), as a measure of productivity, was in function of the dependent variable, while the size of the enterprise, age, debt ratio, quick ratio, inventory, sale growth and capital turnover ratio were found as independent variables. A regression model was constructed and indicated that most variables had a statistically significant influence on the dependent variable. This kind of results are very important for potential investors. They can help them to better understand impact of internal factors on profitability and make better decisions about investment in this sector.

This paper presents a research on market concentration of tobacco producers in the Republic of Serbia during 2010-2013. Market concentration was measured by Herfindahl Hirschman index (HHI) and Concentration index (CRn) based on independent variables: operating revenue, net earnings, equity and number of employees. The research of market concentration of tobacco producers based on operating revenue as the most referential variable indicated that the market of tobacco producers in the Republic of Serbia was highly concentrated and that it was an oligopoly. Leading companies dominated in the terms of the value of realized net earnings, equity and number of employees. Although leading companies had dominance in market share of Serbia, they had worse operating results in terms of effectiveness, structure of assets and financial performance in observed period.
