Abstract

ABSTRACTThe purpose of the research in this paper is to analyze the production of raspberries in Republic of N. Macedonia and to perceive its place on the world market of raspberries, as well as to analyze the market opportunities for raspberry production in Republic of N. Macedonia.The results of the research show that Russia occupies 19% of world raspberry production for 2018 while Mexico occupies 15% of total raspberry production and Serbia occupies 15% of total raspberry production for 2018, i.e., it is the third largest producer in the world. The production of raspberries worldwide has increased by 7% in 2018 compared to 2017, while compared to 2010 this production worldwide has increased by 40%.Republic of N. Macedonia with its 33rd place occupies 0.03% of the total world production of raspberries in 2018 from a total of 45 countries. But despite the small share in world raspberry production in 2018, Republic of N. Macedonia records a drastic increase (by 96%) compared to 2010, while compared to 2017 it increased by 25%. Republic of N. Macedonia has the necessary conditions for the production of raspberries, but still this branch is not fully developed.1.INTRODUCTIONRich yield, unlimited sales, high purchase prices and European earnings make growing raspberries a profitable agribusiness.Regarding the ecological conditions, raspberry is a very specific crop and therefore, before deciding to raise a plantation, it is necessary to analyze the ecological conditions that largely determine the success of the plantations. The best locations for raspberry plantations are in the beech zone, on hilly and mountainous areas and at an altitude of 300 to 1000 m.The soil conditions of the location are extremely important for the successful cultivation of the plantations. This crop gives the best results on deep, loose, permeable, slightly acidic soils with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5, and soils with a humus content of 3 to 5%. Raspberries respond particularly poorly to shallow, light, dry, calcareous, stony, highly acidic, alkaline, heavy and swampy soils.The best conditions for raspberries production are areas with temperate-continental climate, in moderately humid and moderately warm areas without large temperature fluctuations. Of the climatic elements of special importance are light, heat, precipitation and wind. Raspberries do not tolerate shady places, but they do not tolerate
