The Republic of Macedonia`s hog production sector continues to face challenges with a significant decline in growth rates from 2023 to 2024. Despite relying on pork imports from top countries such as Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Denmark, and Austria, the industry has experienced a negative compound annual growth rate of -6.42% from 2020 to 2024. The high concentration levels in the market, as indicated by the high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), suggest limited competition and potential barriers to entry for new players. The substantial drop in growth rate in 2024 highlights the need for strategic interventions to revitalize the hog production and pork import sector in North Macedonia.
