Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, the barley market in Bosnia and Herzegovina showed notable fluctuations. Volume started at 108 822 metric tons in 2018, dipped to 103 029 metric tons in 2019, then recovered to a peak of 109 350 metric tons in 2020. The market stabilized in 2021 with a volume of 109 236 metric tons.

In 2022, market volume declined to 103 822 metric tons. This contraction was driven by adverse weather conditions in parts of Europe and significant logistics disruptions in Russia and the Black Sea region, which raised global grain prices and strained supply chains. The Russia-Ukraine conflict further disrupted barley supplies, reducing imports and contributing to the market drop. The downward trend continued in 2023, with volume falling to 99 102 metric tons.
