BOSNIA IS STILL A MAJOR IMPORTER OF MILK AND DAIRY PRODUCTS

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (March 21,2008) – Although Bosnia has significantly increased the outputs of its dairy industry and milk producers over the past few years, the country is still a major importer of milk and dairy products.

According to information provided by the Bosnian Foreign Trade Chamber, the value of these imports reached 116 million Bosnian Marks last year. At the same time, milk and dairy export was worth 41 million Bosnian Marks.

Although the number of cows has halved compared to the pre-war period, the milk production is much above the 1990 output.
