Too much dependence on food products, as well as presquest investment in the technological development of domestic food production are key reasons for which BiH citizens are faced with continuous and persistent growth of food, and when the data is added to the diet In the monthly costs, the European average is exceeding the European average, it is clear that changes are necessary.
Dissatisfaction
Boycott trade is one of the forms of expressing civic dissatisfaction with the situation, but root changes are looking for a systemic approach and the synergie of the state, manufacturers and consumers. Of course, when a number of distribution chains are added, it is clear that in the formation of the final price of the product, primary producers are at least, and the sources of the evening list reveals and to which the price of the field is coming to the table.
The President of the Farmers of FBiH Nedžad Being lists the price of milk that consumers pay on average 2 brands per liter, but reminds how the purchase price of 65 pages to one brand is.
Another example comes from bakery, so the purchase price of 30 to 40 peasants, and the redemption price of flour is below 1 km, while, on the other hand, the citizens allocate up to 700 percent more funds when buying bread.
Namely, from one kilogram of flour, which costs less than a brand, are given four breads, each of which is paid by two brands, ie coming to calculus: a kilogram of flour for the brand, a pound of bread for eight marks. Of course, the manufacturer will always have an explanation that needs to be paid to the worker, electricity, electricity … but it still remains the fact that in the end of the purchase of flour would be very profitable.
Farmers say how, with the root change in which we are, as a society, we are, needed much more active role of the state in terms of margin limitations, but also significant investments in domestic food production.
Sasa Marić, the BiH Consumer Protection, for the Evening List recently discovered the results of great analysis that they spent in terms of global prices and comparisons global prices in world markets in the last ten, twenty thirty years.
The results clearly talk about the fact that consumers face in BiH. In line with prices from ten years ago on the global food exchange, today’s food prices, which include all types of meat, all types of milk and dairy products, most cereals, most oilseeds and sugar, compared to the global stock exchanges are twenty percent more, while, on the other hand, food prices in BiH from 100 to 400 percent more.
Investing in production
How to solve the situation in which we face, the question is that it is not possible to provide a simple answer. He is looking for a multilayan approach, at the heart of everything, is a significantly higher focus on domestic production. The potentials for such that exist, and significant funds of the European Union are ready for BiH within the IPARD, which, unfortunately, due to the lack of a political agreement, we fail to withdraw. And that is something that will have to change if we want to see cheaper food products, writes on the shelves Evening.ba
