Abstract
As world population grows, increases the need for more efficient food production. On the other hand,
contemporary farmers are facing a fast-changing business environment, tough market conditions and fierce
competition, more than ever before. High exposure to financial risks imposes the need for making better
agribusiness-related decisions on all levels and during all phases of food production chain. One way to stay
competitive is to incorporate innovative solutions in all phases of the decision-making process. Hence, during recent
years, technology-oriented companies, especially those belonging to the ICT sector, are creating a range of
agricultural software and hardware, services, farming techniques, and more, all aimed at bringing more data and
efficiency to the agricultural and/or agribusiness sector, timely and accurately. Management Information Systems
(MIS) refer to computerized data-processing systems, encompassing both hardware and/or software, designed to
support the activities of a company or an organizational management. When applied in the agribusiness sector,
such systems, also known as farm management information systems (FMIS) or farm management software (FMS),
become powerful, yet an indispensable tool for data acquisition, data processing, and reporting needed for
successful process management in the agribusiness environment. Based entirely on the extensive use of secondary
sources, the paper aims at providing a comprehensive overview of the latest research done on this topic. It also
tries to identify the key FMS requirements and presents a general architecture of a two-tiered Web-based FMS
solution. Finally, the paper scans the current situation in the Republic of Macedonia vis-à-vis FMS usage, as well as
the current status and trends in this expanding field on a global scale.
