The 4th international fair of entrepreneurship and crafts Grapos-Expo opened yesterday in Gračanica and was attended by many local and foreign exhibitors.
On behalf of the Vice-President of the FBiH and Federal Minister of Agriculture, Water and Forestry Jerko Ivanković Lijanović, his advisor Suad Čamdžić attended the opening of the fair.
“Together with colleagues from the Tuzla Canton government, I visited the fair and saw the possibility of cooperation between industry and agriculture with the goal of strengthening domestic production for which we all know is the future of our country. We gave an impetus to exhibitors for further and bigger production’’, said Čamdžić.
Around 270 exhibitors are participating at the fair, which is a sign of a good foundation for further cooperation of producers, and all for the goal of strengthening domestic production.
“The best that we are producing is in our own factories in Tuzla Canton and this is becoming virtually more recognizable to our citizens. We see this year that at the fair pellet is presented and I recommend to all our citizens to buy our local product’’, said the Minister for Industry, Energy and Mining of Tuzla Canton Željko Knežiček.
The Tuzla Canton Minister for Agriculture Edin Ajanović recalled the opportunities for the development of such events.
“At this fair we saw much innovation tied to bioenergy, especially in the production of pellets, and all given that the Tuzla Canton has a large amount of forest area that is well protected via the JP “Šume TK” and hunting organizations that manage these areas. We recycle everything that as trash is found in a biofuel, and in this way we use it for the production of energy. Also at this fair we can see a lot of producers of healthy food. I am impressed in the ways in which this is produced and how the producers have succeeded to have such quality production, which deserves a large number of awards in BiH and in the world”, said Ajanović.
Ajanović added that this fair has a very important role in the agricultural development of the Tuzla Canton given that a large number of participants and delegations come from abroad.
