Influence of input prices on future apple production

Abstract

This paper analyzes the impact of human labor prices, mineral fertilizers, pesticides and oil on future apple production, based on ten-year data from 10 surveyed apple producers in the Republic of North Macedonia. The results showed that the prices of all inputs (except oil) in the future period (until 2029) will rise, and that the value of production will decrease. This, in turn, will directly affect the reduction of surface volume and apple production.
