ABSTRACT
According to the statistical data, the
authors determined that Macedonian tobacco was grown on
area of 18,500 ha between 2001-2010, which is 3 % of the
arable land or 75% of the industrial crops.Тhe average yield of
dry tobacco in the investigated period ranged between 1.000 and
1,500 kg/ha. This is an opportunity for about 17 to 30 thousand
tons of Macedonian tobacco to be found on
the market of oriental tobacco. Almost 92 % of them is
exported, while the rest is used in the country.
However, Macedonia is also importer of tobacco, mainly
broadleaf tobacco. The analysis of
export, import and purchase prices showed that the price of
tobacco export and tobacco products
has the greatest stability. The price was increasing with the
same intensity from year to year,
following the growth of the U.S. dollar. In contrast, the
greatest fluctuation was noticed in
purchasing price of tobacco .
