FENA Vehid Begunić

ZENICA, October 17 (FENA) - The 9th OPENS 2019 Fair of Agriculture and Organic Production and Folk Art began today in Zenica, and during the three days of the fair, citizens and visitors will be able to buy products from 100 exhibitors from all over Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The fair is held at the Alija Izetbegović Square and is organized by the Farmers Association of Zenica-Doboj Canton.

“The 100 exhibitors that will present their products at the fair represent a unique opportunity for us, exhibitors and manufacturers, to exchange opinions and ideas, and consumers are our biggest controllers. They'll show us what's wrong. This is an opportunity for producers and consumers to meet face to face, which is the purpose of all fairs,” said the president of the ZDC Farmers Association Nermin Marušić.

Among the exhibitors is Božo Vlačić from Trebinje, who recently received the award for "Organic Product Brand" in Belgrade.

“I have over 700 trees and nine varieties of figs, which is my main product, although I also grow pomegranate, kiwi ... I have exhibited more than 20 products here,” says Vlačić, who has been growing figs for 12 years. He announces that he will also be an exhibitor at the Morocco fair in mid-November, for which he has been invited and will continue to present products from his region and southern BiH.

Zenica Mayor Fuad Kasumović said the borders are permeable and the question is what kind of food we import.

“I urge citizens to help their country and their agricultural producers by buying local products,” said Kasumović.

On the second day of the fair, a round table "Sustainability of agricultural production" will be organized, at which the speaker will be Enver Avdić from Bugojno, owner of ESOF, and on the last day of the fair, at 14.00 hours, there will be a Folk Games and Songs Fair and the announcement of the best exhibitors of the fair.
