METHODOLOGICAL CONTEXT AND DOMAINS OF VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS FOR POLICY MAKING: CASE IN REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA

Bringing national agricultural policy in line with the Common Agricultural Policy of EU, among other things, requires an understanding of how local agricultural producers with their production will fit into the EU single market. The general point that needs to be made in this regard is grasping the big picture on how agricultural products move through the value chain on their way to the final consumer. This is important not just for the actors involved, but also for the policy-makers since the logic Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets (CMO) within the EU is to reinforce the economic position of producers in the market. In this sense, analysing impacts of policy options through value chains provides decision makers and other stakeholders with anticipated evidence on likely changes directly induced by policies. The complexity of this task and the need for successful implementation of CMO measures in the Republic of North Macedonia required methodological approach that has been developed within the Project “Introduction and implementation of Common Market Organization measures”. Developed methodological approach that enables assess on quantitative grounds the impacts that policy option have upon certain product (commodity) is presented in this paper.

The agricultural sectors of the former centrally planned economies, including Bulgaria were in a state of economic crises in the period after socialist governments fell. The former system disappeared almost overnight while new market structures had not yet emerged. The outcome of this transition shocks was a sharp decline in both agricultural output and the sector's GDP in the early 1990s. Some countries of the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) recovered from this initial decline much faster. The principle reason for the difference appears to be the more resolute adherence of CEE governments to reform policies throughout their economies. The purpose of this study is to get more knowledge about the structure and possibilities of Bulgarian agriculture after the transition period and last but not least, about the effects of the EU CAP on the Bulgarian economy and farmers.That is why were made some interviews, and besides, it was carried out a questionnaire survey in order to get a picture about how farmers act in a new environment called the Common Agricultural Policy of EU. For collecting information, as well as confirming or rejecting the investigation hypotheses chi-square analysis was applied.
