Earlier Report Observations

The oat market in North Macedonia saw a sustained contraction from 2018 to 2023, with total volume dropping from 7 496 t to 4 346 t, a reduction of over 40%. The decline was most pronounced in 2019 and 2021, with yearly losses exceeding 700 t, and accelerated again in 2023 when the market shrank by more than 1 000 t.

This downward trajectory was primarily led by a steady fall in domestic oat production, which decreased from 7 338 t to 4 267 t over the six-year span. Imports, which represented a minor share of supply, remained very low throughout most of the period, providing little offset to the falling local output.
