Dear reader and catalogue user,

This publication brings you the information about the fruit and vegetable sector and export oriented companies from Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). It is to be used as a starting point for potential distributors and buyers to learn more about the main types of fruit and vegetables in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the leading producers and processors.

The BiH Foreign Trade Chamber is the association of entrepreneurs throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. One of its activities is to represent its members to potential partners abroad, as well as to provide services of strategic promotion in the foreign markets, which is being done with this catalogue.

Sincerely,

Ahmet Egrlić, President

Foreign Trade Chamber of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Production growth to satisfy your orders. Production of fruits and vegetables is one of the most

important sectors in agriculture in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the last couple of years, this sector

has recorded a large increase in production, especially in the subsector of berry fruits. The increase

in production of fruits and vegetables during the last couple of years is a direct result of significant

investments across the entire Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Competitive prices for competitive products. Total production of fruits and vegetables in 2012

amounted to 150 million KM, out of which 40% was placed in the international markets. From premium

quality fruits (plums, apples, pears, grapes, raspberries, strawberries, cherries and forest fruits) and

vegetables (potatoes, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers), the TOP INTERNATIONAL

PICKS are fresh plums, frozen and fresh raspberries, forest fruits, cherries, gherkins, tomatoes and

potatoes!

Standardized quality to satisfy your buyers. Most of the producers follow the latest trends, as

well as technologies used today in this type of production and obtained standards which are required

from the EU member states consumers, such as GlobalGAP. Furthermore, this sector can boast of

the use of highly sophisticated equipment, especially in the processing of fruits, where individual

companies have the most advanced equipment available today.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES SECTOR IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Moving forward in line with the new

trends. What is very positive and encouraging

is that during the last 3 years there has been

an introduction of new cultivars and varieties

in primary production across the whole Bosnia

and Herzegovina, such as the primocane

raspberry, chokeberry, American high-bush

blueberry, new strawberry varieties, Kamchatka

berries, cherries, etc. The advantage of new

varieties and fruit species is reflected in the

extension of the season in which the fresh

fruits and vegetables are available, and in

the fact that with the quality storages most

products are available all year around. Bosnia

and Herzegovina can also boast about the

developed production of fruit planting materials,

as well as the vegetable seedlings and

largely meets its own needs for expansion of

production. The sub sector of berry fruits and

tree fruits really stands out here. Some of the

local entities are exporting planting materials to

the regional countries for the first time, which

has not been the case thus far.
