STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE VITICULTURE SECTOR OF BIH WITH REFERENCE TO FAMILY HOUSEHOLDS

Summary/Abstract: Observing the historical genesis of grapevine cultivation on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is important to emphasise that the tradition of grapevine cultivation is over 2.000 years old. In whole area, the vine was brought by the ancient Greeks. Today's production of wine grapes, in 2021, is carried out on an area of approximately 3.700 ha, which is significantly less than in 1989, when production took place on an area of 5.722 ha. As a result of the war, the area has been reduced to today's figures. Approximately 10.200 agricultural households are engaged in grapevine cultivation and wine production, which represents 96,21% of the total area under vines, only 3,79% of the area is owned by registered companies. The main goal is to increase the area under vineyards, to modernize existing capacities, which ultimately results in increased wine production. In order to achieve all the stated goals, it is necessary to provide certain funds. Transition countries, to which Bosnia and Herzegovina also belongs, are based on further growth and development on the arrival of foreign investment. In countries in transition, foreign investment is the only possible factor in economic development. However, due to a number of factors that influenced poor organization and poor access, which is especially pronounced in family farms, a large number of foreign investment do not come to BiH. The basis of the paper is related to the analysis of the actual state of the viticulture and wine production sector in BiH and the amount of wine exported to EU markets. Since the majority, which consists of agricultural households do not their own capital, i.e. they do not have their own sources of financing. By using certain statistical methods one can get an insight into the real situation that exists in the field of viticulture in BiH, with reference to family farms. According to the data obtained from the analysis, the place and position of the viticulture sector, which is the most important part of the food and agricultural area in Herzegovina, can be predicted. Due to its great diversification, this area is very interesting for foreign investments. By applying various statistical tools, the situation in the field of viticulture can be determined and in that way it is possible to attract all interested investors.
