Abstract
This paper presents the recent development
of agricultural policy support in North Macedonia in the
context of the EU approximation process. The applied
conceptual framework focuses on the key principles of
agricultural policy harmonization with the EU CAP. The
Agricultural Policy Measures Classification (APMC) tool
is used to obtain a detailed understanding of the
structure and level of the existing support (and
comparison with Western Balkan countries and the EU
CAP). The results show an increasing trend in total
budgetary transfers to the agricultural sector.
Agricultural support is composed mostly of coupled
direct payments and on-farm investment support,
whereas the support for environmental and other
societal benefits has minor representation. While
largely committed to adhere to the CAP in future, the
agricultural policy actually implemented diverges from
the declared planning, reflecting domestic interests.1
