Sugar shortages continue to continue in Balkans

The war in Ukraine, in addition to contributing to a major geopolitical crisis in the world, has also resulted in a series of disruptions in supply chains in Europe and the rest of the world.

Some countries in the region also had a shortage of sugar on the shelves of many stores due to the rise in the prices of fuel and certain foodstuffs.

At the end of August, the Serbian government extended the provision limiting the price of basic foodstuffs until September 30th.

This also applies to sugar, which can be found in Serbia at a price of 102 dinars 1.70 BAM Despite the government s measures, stores have been in big trouble due to a shortage of sugar on the shelves for several weeks.

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has also called on the secret services to launch a special investigation into the causes of the sugar shortage, but the results of that investigation are not yet known.

How is the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina BiH Although the Balkans area is such that the problem in one country is quickly reflected in another, it seems that for now there are no problems in BiH, at least when it comes to sugar market.

Natasa Pucar, the head of corporate communications at the Bimal company, spoke about the current situation in our market and the state of the largest sugar factory in Brcko, which covers the entire BiH market.

BiH has its own sugar production in Brcko and the STUDEN AGRANA Sugar Refinery has provided the most stable market without shortages with its capacities. The BiH market is currently the most stable in the region, despite all political and economic developments in the world, according to Biznis Info.
