North Macedonia agricultural production and trade

Overview

Agricultural production and trade in North Macedonia show varying trends across different sectors. In the grape sector, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy Borče Serafimovski reported a successful harvest, with total amounts harvested from vineyards exceeding 54 million kilograms. This includes over 43.5 million kilograms processed domestically and more than 10.5 million kilograms of wine and table grapes exported.

In contrast, the watermelon trade is seeing a shrinking surplus. Although domestic production is stable at roughly 130,000 tons annually, imports have risen to the point where they exceeded exports in the first seven months of the year. Albania has become the dominant supplier, providing nearly 89 percent of imports, while the Czech Republic remains the largest export market.
