Macedonian livestock, dairy and grain sectors and the EU accession impact

Abstract

Th e Republic of Macedonia is in the process of integrating into the European Union (EU) and adjusting its policies through reforms in policy, regulations and institutions. Th is paper attempts to provide an answer to the question: what would be the impact on the Macedonian livestock, dairy and grain sectors of Macedonia integrating into the EU. In order to forecast the impact of the EU accession, the research uses the partial equilibrium model as a comprehensive tool for modelling the complex nature of the agricultural markets. Th e model simulation foresees the changes of the modelled sub-sectors in production, net-trade and income. Th e baseline scenario predicts a positive development for almost all selected commodities, with the exception of the beef sector, which is highly uncompetitive prior to the accession. Th ree EU accession scenarios foresee positive developments in the beef, lamb and cow's milk markets, while a negative development is expected in the pig meat and grains markets.

Mechanism of Subsidies as an Element of State Support of Livestock Sector’s Development in Ukraine

“…For countries whose economic policy in the agrarian sphere is being formed, topical issues are those of international cooperation in the agricultural sector with the World Bank, the EU and other countries of the world (Blizkovsky, Grega, & Verter, 2018). As a rule, in this case we consider influence of such support on development of agrarian products markets (Kotevska, Dimitrievski, & Erjavec, 2013).…”

Potential impact of EU Common Agriculture Policy on Croatian dairy sector - modelling results

“…Modeling approach is a method that is often used in agricultural economics at both the micro (Prišenk et al, 2014) and macro (Kotevska et al, 2013) level analysis of the agricultural sector. The model enables view of real situations, under certain conditions.…”
