Bananas, mandarin orange, peanuts, South American potatoes and other exotic vegetables and fruits have been found more and more often on farms throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina in recent years.
Instead of vine grape, kiwi provides natural shade to the hosts in the heart of Semberija during the summer. More and more exotic fruits are grown there now. In addition to kiwis, Siberian lemons and mandarin oranges, last year Sukrija Huseidic from Bijeljina also ate the first fruits from the banana tree that he planted in the yard five years ago as an ornament.
Sukrija said the reason for the successful cultivation of exotic fruits in the largest granary of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is the change of climate. “The conditions are the same, except that in winter you need to protect it against frost and that’s it,” he adds.
