DR August Heimer

"Travelogues"

Brcko, the future Bosnian Hamburg, was dressed in festive attire to receive long-distance travelers, so the first impression they received when meeting the new country and its population was extremely favorable.

The importance and significance of Brcko as a trading city is increasing every year. Prunes are set as the noblest of merchandise. If the year is rich in plums, smokers smoke everywhere, and then endless rows of all possible types of vehicles are heavily loaded with plums to Brcko. This modest small fruit is the most important source of income for the whole region. In less yielding years, plums worth about half a million crowns are exported from Brcko, and in the years of high yield, up to three million. During the big week-long plum market in and around the city, a hectic life pulsates. Foreign buyers from various countries flock here, money is turning, music is heard all over cafes and restaurants, and on the vast plain around Brcko, peasants run their large livestock and grain markets. The population on both sides of the river of Sava in their colorful colorful national costumes ripples the streets and enjoy the evening in soft plum brandy and sweet fried pumpkins. Rejoicing in local entertainment.

TIME-MACHINE

Tradition and innovation of Bosnian-Herzegovinian quality

Bosnaplod has been the generator of agricultural production in Brcko and its neighboring communities surrounding towns for decades, and this tradition continues today.

The company’s core business is the processing of stone fruits and berries.

Thanks to innovative technologies and years of experience, we offer our customers the highest quality products, in case  it is frozen, dried or thermally processed fruit.

A turning point in our history occurred in 2015 when  ZERAA Investment Fund made an acquisition and decided to invest significant funds in the reconstruction and modernization of the company. We have modernized production facilities and plantations. Additionally, we improved the quality of the products and also made an acquisition of a new cold storage in Begov Han in 2018 for the purchase of berries

We  support the agricultural development and the development of small family businesses and we are proud to say that our products are 100% homegrown. We have established cooperation with 3,000 subcontractors supplying us on annual basis with around 2,000 tons of raspberries, 6,000 tons of sour cherries and over 3,000 tons of plums and other cultivars. Beside fruit purchasing, we have 150 hectares of our own plantations.
