In seven months of this year, 124.6 million liters of water, worth 132.2 million BAM, were imported into Bosnia and Herzegovina.
According to the Administration for Indirect Taxation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the most water was imported from Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia.
Also, at the same time, 69.8 million liters of water worth 27.9 million BAM were exported from Bosnia and Herzegovina, most of which was exported to neighboring countries.
Despite the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina is extremely rich in water, this trend is regularly explained by the fact that the free market, constant and very expensive marketing campaign of well-known brands, distribution and efficient sales channels greatly facilitate the better placement of imported water on the domestic market.
This gap can only be reduced by greater protection of domestic production in terms of better quality control when importing goods from neighboring countries, an increased marketing campaign of domestic brands and more intensive purchase of domestic products, according to the Chamber of Foreign Trade of BiH.
