ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:

Agribusiness in Serbia, the region, and Southeastern Europe faces significant challenges due to climate change and shifting market conditions. The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of climate change on agricultural production and the supply/demand of agricultural products at the regional and European levels, as well as to explore strategies for agribusiness adaptation to new market and climate conditions. The materials and methods include an analysis of market data, climate trends, and relevant agricultural policies. The main findings indicate that agribusiness must adopt sustainable practices and innovations to remain competitive in changing conditions. The conclusion is that adapting to these challenges requires the integration of new technologies, improvement of agricultural methods, and cooperation with European markets to ensure the sector’s sustainable future.
