Dairy Production in Bosnia and Herzegovina over The Past Quarter Century

Abstract

The development of agricultural production is one of the economic priorities for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The dairy sector, including primary animal products and processed dairy foods, is a core sector for agricultural development. In 2006 the agriculture sector contributed about 10.4% of GDP, in 2008 8.4%, 2009 7.8%, 2011 8.7% and 2012 8.2%. Dairy farming dominates agricultural production and total livestock production contributes almost 60% of agricultural GDP. Milk production should be primarily directed towards cheaper and better quality of products. This is possible with active credit lines, more investment in the modernization and expansion of existing production capacity, as well as with construction of new large specialized farms, and new technologies, especially in the way of housing and handling of animals, nutrition, hygiene, etc. Current work is a brief review of the dairy sector at the past quarter century prepared by using data from different sources.

Son Çeyrek Yüzyılda Bosna Hersek'te Süt Üretimi

Abstract

Tarımsal üretimdeki gelişim, Bosna Hersek için ekonomik önceliklerden birisidir. Tarımsal gelişimin sektörel kaynağını, işlem görmemiş ve işlem görmüş hayvansal ürünler olarak süt sektörü oluşturmaktadır. Tarımsal sektör, gayrisafi yurtiçi hasılanın (GSYİH) 2006 yılında %10,4, 2008 yılında %8,4, 2009 yılında %7,8, 2011 yılında %8,7 ve 2012 yılında %8,2'sini oluşturmuştur. Sütçü işletmeler, tarımsal üretime hakimdir ve toplam hayvansal üretim, tarımsal GSYİH'nin %60'ını oluşturmaktadır. Süt üretimi öncelikli olarak daha ucuz ve daha kaliteli ürünlerin elde edilmesine doğru yönlendirilmelidir. Bunun sağlanabilmesi ise aktif kredi limitleri, var olan üretim kapasitesinin daha fazla yatırım ile genişletilmesi ve modernleştirilmesi, özellikle barınak, bakım, besleme ve hijyen konularında uzmanlaşmış büyük yeni çiftliklerin ve yeni teknolojilerin kurulması ile mümkündür. Bu çalışma, farklı kaynaklardan elde edilen verilerin kullanılması ile hazırlanmış, süt sektöründeki son çeyrek yüzyılın kısa bir derlemesidir.
