    Bosnia and Herzegovina

    The agricultural season in Bosnia and
    Herzegovina (BH) begins earlier than in most European
    countries, shipping costs are relatively low, and land and
    labor prices are more favorable than in other southern
    European countries. As a result, the country's
    agriculture sector should be well positioned to compete on
    the export markets. With 20.6 percent of all employed in BH,
    agriculture remains an important sector for employment,

    Albania

    Reducing poverty continues to be one of
    the main priorities of the Government of Albania. Currently,
    Albania has an ample platform to provide social protection
    to its citizens through social insurance, social assistance
    and employment programs. However, these programs are not
    efficiently linked to each other, which can lead to unclear
    and occasionally overlapping roles among the programs. Among
    these social protection programs, Ndihma Ekonomike (NE) is

    Albania

    This sector report claims that in the
    three years between 2002 and 2005 alone, almost 235,000
    people have moved out of poverty in Albania. Strong economic
    growth and large inflow of remittances are at the center of
    this impressive achievement. However, low productivity of
    predominantly small family farms has put a drag on rural
    growth prospects. Moreover, Ndihma Ekonomike (NE) program,
    the means-tested income support program is small in scale,

    Albania

    In 1989, Albania's rigid political
    and socioeconomic structure shattered beyond repair.
    Turbulence soon invaded every domain of life. As the state
    imploded, so did the state-run economy. This review explores
    ongoing consequences of this difficult transformation that
    took place since 1989 and of policy initiatives to mitigate
    or ameliorate its effects. Albania has been much studied;
    the review addresses important information gaps. It

    Albania

    Recent trends in Albania suggest that it
    has the potential for a modern and competitive agricultural
    sector, provided there is sufficient private investment and
    the right policy environment. This chapter looks at the role
    of agriculture in the economy and the current status of the
    sector, and outlines the implications of modernization and
    transformation of agriculture for rural areas. It also
    identifies trends and sources of growth for agriculture, and

    countries in the Europe and Central Asia (ECA) Region, with
    a particular focus on climate and crop projections,
    adaptation options, policy development and institutional
    involvement. The note series has been developed to provide a
    baseline of knowledge on climate change and agriculture for

    North Macedonia

    Economic progress in Macedonia has been
    variable and slow during the last 10 years. This slow
    progress is attributable to the succession of political and
    economic shocks, and the failure to complete economic
    reform. Agriculture is an important sector in the Macedonia
    economy, with production and processing contributing around
    18% of GDP. As a small economy with a structural deficit in
    most food commodities, agricultural trade is essential for

    Albania

    Albania's radical farmland
    distribution is credited with averting an economic crisis
    and social unrest during the transition. But many believe it
    led to a holding structure too fragmented to be efficient,
    and that public efforts to consolidate plots are needed to
    lay the foundation for greater rural productivity. This
    paper uses farm-level data from the 2005 Albania Living
    Standards Measurement Survey to explore this quantitatively.
