Bosnia chicken meat trade balance near parity; farmers signal price hikes

Bosnian poultry farmers exported 16.5M KM of chicken meat in Jan-Jul 2026, nearly matching imports of 16.4M KM, indicating a balanced trade position. Farmers warn of higher prices next year, likely due to rising input costs or market pressures. The near-parity trade suggests domestic production is competitive but not dominant, and price increases could affect local consumers and inflation.
