Trends of trade indicators of potatoes in Bosnia and Herzegovina

In the paper, the movement of foreign trade indicators of potatoes in Bosnia and Herzegovina was analyzed using a quantitative research method, and thus an attempt was made to determine possible changes that occurred in the analyzed ten-year period, and to predict their movement in the future. The results showed that Bosnia and Herzegovina had a negative foreign trade balance when it comes to this vegetable, which is 16,150 tons. Imports, both in terms of quantity and price, have a slight tendency to increase in the coming period, while exports have a recorded tendency to decrease when it comes to quantities, and a slight upward trend in prices. Relatively unstable movements can be observed for both indicators in the observed ten-year period. According to the established linear trend, the quantitative import and export of potatoes will remain below the achieved ten-year average in the following period, while the price and foreign trade parameters are above it. On average, in the analyzed period, the largest import of potatoes was from the Netherlands, while the largest export was to Croatia
