Creation of machinery rings in the Republic of Serbia is a topic that attracts scientists of different profiles. This form of interest association is particularly important for small farmers. Appropriate direct and indirect incentives encourage the creation of stakeholder associations of small farmers. In the most part, after the 2000th year, these incentives are implemented through projects in agriculture financed from international sources. The aim of this paper is to analyze the experiences, challenges and opportunities for further development of machinery rings. Interesting association of small agricultural producers have effects on increasing competitiveness at the micro level which is essential for the growth of export performance of agricultural and food products. The analysis results show that in the Republic of Serbia in the period 2000th-2009th there are some positive experience, but there are significant opportunities for further development of machinery rings.
