Total of 24 producers were surveyed in all 8 regions. The aim of the survey is to determine the scope and structure of the total income and variable costs, and than the gross margin and price. The authors find that the value of production ranges between 3.538,3 EUR/ha in the Skopje region and 9.034,3 EUR/ha in the Polog region.
