FAO/GIEWS - Foodcrops & Shortages 06/99 - BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA* (28 May)

BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA* (28 May)

Indications are that the crop and overall food supply situation have not been unduly disrupted. Food imports continue to reach the country via Croatia. Although detailed cropping information remains unreliable, indications are that the area of spring and winter crops remained fairly stable. However, mines in agricultural areas means that only limited scope exists to increase planted area beyond current levels. Overwintering conditions have been satisfactory. The food processing industry is plagued by a shortage of working capital to pay farmers and of raw materials.
