Abstract

Tobacco, as a crop, has a special position in the structure of agricultural production and the structure of export, with a particular importance from an economic and social aspect, primarily in specific regions where it represents an important source of finance and livelihood of the population. The emergence of tobacco in Macedonia is closely related to its spread in the Balkan Peninsula, as one of the fundamental products that were important for trade at the time. For this particular reason the production of tobacco in the Republic of North Macedonia has more than historical importance and it is one of the basic traditional activities of every agricultural family in the regions where conditions for its cultivation exist.
It is particularly important to mention that this plant is grown in conditions where any other crop cannot replace tobacco in terms of its cultivation in soils with lower quality, where it provides adequate yield and quality, and thus provides a decent income. These are rural areas in the country where a large part of the rural population lives and the cultivation of tobacco dominates within the agricultural activities. It is a matter ofan oriental tobacco type, which is closely related to the Macedonian region, which disposes of favorable natural, agro-ecological conditions for its production.
Namely, the territory of the Republic of North Macedonia has appropriate soil and climatic characteristics for growing this tobacco type (however some othertobacco types can be grown as well), of certain varieties that are unique in terms of the expressed specific aroma and the high quality of raw material, which is recognizable in the world. Therefore, the tobacco production in the Republic of North Macedonia has a particular economic significance for the country
