MOSTAR, June 17 (FENA) - In the first four months of this year, Bosnia and Herzegovina imported water in the amount of 66,651,352 KM, mostly from the countries of the region, the Foreign Trade Chamber of BiH confirmed for FENA.
In that period, a total of 62,427,551 kilograms of water were imported, including natural or mineral mineral and carbonated water, mostly from Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia.
At the same time, during the same period, a total of 35,124,381 kilograms of water worth 13,593,598 KM were exported from BiH, also to the countries of the region, mostly to Croatia and Serbia.
The Foreign Trade Chamber also commented on the frequently asked question - why do we import so much water in addition to our natural resources, emphasizing that "free market, constant and very expensive marketing campaign of famous brands, distribution and efficient sales channels facilitate better placement of imported water on the domestic market".
They further state that consumer awareness is not sufficiently expressed when it comes to the importance of buying domestic products.
"This gap can only be reduced by greater protection of domestic production in terms of better control over the import of goods from neighboring countries, increased marketing campaign of domestic brands and more intensive purchase of domestic products," said the BiH Foreign Trade Chamber.
