Abstract
The Inter-branch organisations (IBO) are the highest forms of organisations for
agricultural producers, together with other actors involved in the chain of the
product. At European Union (EU) level, there are strict regulations as regards IBO
and the member states are in different stages of implementation. Also, there are
non-member states of EU that wish to establish IBO according to EU rules, because
they want to sell their products on EU market and the present regulations do not
accept them. This is the case of the Republic of North Macedonia (RNM). The paper
presents the analysis of the current state of the process for establishing of IBO for
apples in RNM having in view the initiative of producers and the possible scenarios.
Data were collected from the available literature, through field surveys and in-depth
interviews with stakeholders, in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, based
on the EU funded project “Introduction and Implementation of CMO measures”,
EuropeAid/139105/DH/SER/MK. The results show the main opportunities and constraints for the actors involved in this process, based on SWOT analysis and the directions that the producers and the authorities must follow to establish IBO, also the best scenario accessible for
implementation.
