				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 .
