According to the new rulebook, incentives for agricultural production and rural development will be divided into five categories: direct payments, payments for rural development, credit assistance, specific incentives and IPARD incentives. In 2018, planting subsidies for crop production in Serbia will be 4,000 dinars ($42) per hectare, the same as the previous year. The Serbian government allocated approximately 42.34 billion dinars ($441 million) for agriculture in 2018, which is over 11 percent more than in 2017. Of the total agricultural budget for 2018, more than 40 percent (17.04 billion dinars [$178 million]) will go to direct payments.
