METHODOLOGICAL NOTES Survey carried out by CeSID Opinion Polling Agency and UNDP Serbia Fieldwork Between 5 and 22 April 2019 Random representative sample of 597 farming households in Sample type and size 15 Central Serbian municipalities Sample frame Serbian Register of Farming Households Random sampling of fruit and vegetable growers without Selection of households replacement Selection of respondents by Responsible person for each farming household household Survey method Face-to-face at each farming household Survey instrument Questionnaire This opinion poll was performed by CeSID and UNDP Serbia between 5 and 22 April 2019 in fifteen Serbian local authorities. The survey sample comprised 597 farming households registered in any of the 15 local authorities covered by the opinion poll: Aleksinac, Leskovac, Malo Crniće, Merošina, Paraćin, Pirot, Smederevo, Smederevska Palanka, Valjevo, Velika Plana, Veliko Gradište, Žabari, Zaječar, Kruševac, and Požarevac. The survey instrument used was a questionnaire developed in collaboration with the client that contained 69 questions for a total of 200 variables. Respondents were interviewed directly, using the face-to-face method, at their farms. The respondents were the persons in charge of production or farming operations in each farming household. 3 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SAMPLE The survey, performed by CeSID and UNDP in fifteen Central Serbian local authorities, encompassed a total of 597 farms. Chart 1 shows the percentage of farming households for each local authority. Chart 1.

The first stage in the sample design was the selection of agricultural holdings from the Registry of Agricultural Holdings, a database developed and maintained by the Ministry of Agriculture. In order to fulfil representativeness of the sample, CeSID ensured that a survey of 10 agricultural holdings is conducted in each of the selected municipalities, while the remaining 450 surveys were distributed proportionally across agricultural holdings in 15 selected municipalities. By using this approach, CeSID will provide representativeness of the entire region of Central Serbia. The second stage in the sample design consisted of a selection of agricultural holdings through a systemic random selection (Simple Random Sampling without Replacement–SRSWoR). The third stage included the selection of respondents inside selected agricultural holding. Potential respondents within each holding were (1) the owner of selected agricultural holding or (2) the person responsible for maintaining the holding who is involved in the decision-making process and aware of entire production/growing process. 4 2.1.

Findings show above average number of those who had finished college or university among fruit growers. Pensions account for most household income derived from activities other than farming. Slightly under one-half of all members (46%) who reported non-farming income were pensioners. If we exclude those who are retired, most of the income that comes outside farm come from manual workers – 50% .

A total of 22 maize samples were collected from four different districts across the country: City of Belgrade (nine samples), Šumadija (eight samples), Podunavlje (four samples) and Kolubara (one sample). Toxigenic fungi were identified according to the morphological characteristics whereas the mycotoxins contamination were detected using biochemistry enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent (ELISA) assay. The tested samples were mostly infected with Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium spp., except that one sample originated from Kolubara was not contaminated with Aspergillus species. Fusarium graminearum was the most common species in the maize sample from Kolubara district (60%), F. verticillioides in the maize samples from Podunavlje (43.75%) and City of Belgrade (22.4%) districts, and Penicillium spp.
