Abstract
Tobacco production is a significant branch, from which about 30,000 families exist and brings
foreign currency inflow of about 120 million euros per year, which is certainly enough incentive
for the state to be oriented towards the maintenance and development of this branch. In fact,
tobacco is our strategic export-oriented branch and in the past decade it has recorded stable and
sustainable production (24,000 tons of tobacco were exported in 2020, and 30,000 tons of
tobacco were exported in 2021), which provides a significant foreign exchange inflow to the state
budget. In order to achieve greater effects and sustainability of this significant industrial culture,
special emphasis should be placed on the management and organization of the tobacco
production process, with mandatory motivation and stimulation of younger people who are less
and less present in this sphere. In this context, we mean not only subsidies as the only way of
support, but also education and encouraging the creation of a mandatory business plan, as well
as the purchase of modern agricultural machinery through the program for rural development.
For the past harvest of 2022, the purchase price of tobacco, which is a primary condition for
further production and which reached a record level of 285 denars per kilogram, which is an
increase of 40% compared to previous years, was particularly stimulating. of course, it will give
a positive signal to the tobacco producers who will still see tobacco production as a primary
activity, from which they will provide a livelihood for their families, but also an opportunity to
make a profit.
