Earlier Report Observations

At the start of the period in 2018, currant and gooseberry production in North Macedonia stood at 78 300 kg. The sector faced constraints due to limited grower knowledge of specialized agronomy and scarce availability of planting material, which tempered market expansion. However, the autumn planting season and the widespread offer of ready-made seedlings lowered the entry barrier for new small-scale producers, contributing to a gradual rise in output over the following years.

From 2019 to 2023, domestic production remained very stable, fluctuating between 79 000 kg and 80 000 kg annually. Imports, although modest in volume, emerged from 2019 onwards and peaked at 1 079 kg in 2021, supplementing the local supply. A singular notable export of 1 530 kg in 2022 temporarily reduced the available domestic market volume to 78 684 kg that year.

By 2024, fresh currants and gooseberries remained a profitable seasonal product. Producers leveraged direct sales at farmers' markets as well as placements in shops and supermarkets where prices were higher. This distribution channel continued to support local production and influenced consumer access and purchasing behavior.
