Prime Minister Hristijan Mitkoski stated on July 4, 2026, that the government has managed to consolidate the agricultural sector over the past two years. During a statement shared across multiple platforms, Mitkoski addressed the state of farming, asserting that the sector inherited significant challenges from the previous administration. He described the agricultural situation as a “literal catastrophe,” noting that crop accumulations were reduced to a biological minimum of 8%.
Mitkoski highlighted the difficulties faced by farmers, particularly concerning irrigation and subsidies. He further stated that the situation for farmers was exacerbated in July, despite reports that the peak season for flooding was concluding. Specifically regarding water resources, Mitkoski mentioned that the sector was forced to irrigate crops to compensate for conditions, leading to what he termed “completely disenfranchised possibilities for flooding in Ovchepoliet.” The Prime Minister’s remarks focused on the efforts made by the current government to stabilize and consolidate the sector over the last two years, contrasting the current management efforts with the perceived state of the industry’s infrastructure and support systems.
