Abstract: The Bioeconomy Roadmap of the Republic of Serbia defines a strategic framework for advancing the green transformation of agribusiness through sustainable resource use, circularity, and innovation. This paper aims to present the relevance of the Roadmap for agriculture and biomass-based value chains. The document was developed through a multi-actor co-creation process involving public institutions, research organization, industry, and civil society, utilizing analytical reviews and participatory consultations. The main results include the identification of key barriers to bioeconomy implementation, including institutional and policy gaps (limited readiness of institutions, insufficient policy support and the need for policy adjustments), knowledge and technological limitations (low awareness of bioeconomy, technological and digital constraints), and financial constraints, as well as five priority action areas: institutional strengthening, international cooperation, sustainable management of biological resources, support for circular bio-based production, and development of innovative biotechnologies. The road map provides a governance and implementation model that can enhance resource efficiency, strengthen bio-based value chains and improve resilience of the agribusiness sector. The conclusions emphases the need for integrated policies, targeted investments, and knowledge transfer to accelerate Serbia’s transition toward a competitive, low-carbon agricultural system aligned with EU objectives.
