Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) In Bosnia and Herzegovina wheat is a key staple, yet domestic production is small and low quality. Current policy environment tends to disadvantage wheat producers and makes them vulnerable in face of changing climate. Government interventions should focus on improving competitiveness of wheat producers and building resilience to climate change. Key reforms should encompass land consolidation, on-farm investments, access to high quality inputs and equipment, extension services and access to risk management tools.

    Small ruminant value chain analysis for Bosnia and Herzegovina 2025
    Also available in:

    This report explores the stability of sheep and goat farming in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which remains vital for rural livelihoods, traditional practices, and food security. Despite stable livestock numbers, the sector faces inefficiencies in production, limited market access, and informality. Low domestic consumption of small ruminant products further limits growth. The report identifies opportunities to enhance productivity through breed improvement, better farm management practices, formalized contracts, and value-added products like speciality cheeses. Aligning with European Union standards is highlighted as essential for accessing lucrative export markets. Recommendations include improving infrastructure, strengthening advisory services, supporting collective action among farmers, and leveraging IPARD funding. By addressing these challenges and capitalizing on its strengths, Bosnia and Herzegovina can foster a competitive and sustainable small ruminant sector.
