Geography

Radovish is situated on the Southeast part of Macedonia. It is connected with regional roads with Skopje (about 130 km away) and Strumica that is 30 km on the south.

Situated on the footsteps of the beautiful mountain Plachkovica and across the Strumica valley, Radovish is influenced by Mediterranean climate and has many favorable periods during the year. This is particularly important for the agriculture. Radovish is known by its paprika and tobacco. This is one of the rare places in the world where oriental types of tobacco are grown and its know by the production (about 4000 tons per year) of the best quality oriental type of tobacco "Jaka". This is tobacco that gives the flavor to the most popular and the best cigarettes in the world.

From geographical point of view, the community had changed a lot over the years. The only gold and copper mine in Macedonia, Buchim is found on the left side of the road Shtip-Radovish, on a place that was formerly known as a grazer. On the right side of the same road there was an iron mine, Damjan. Unfortunately, this mine is now closed.
