ABSTRACT In this paper, the authors use mainly statistical data on the quantity of produced, consumed, exported and imported tobacco in the period 2001-2010. According to these data, the authors make the balance of supply and demand of tobacco. By definition, the balance is the difference between the demand and supply of tobacco and tobacco products. The balance is shown in material and financial terms. Generally, tobacco supply on Macedonian market is greater than the demand. However, the authors also reported that in certain periods, the demand is greater than the available amount of tobacco on the market. The analysis shows negative values for the balance in the research period, i.e. the value of tobacco demand was 158,2% higher compared to the value of tobacco and tobacco products offered on Macedonian market.
Key words: demand, supply, balance |
