This cooperation is essential especially in organizing the production of virus-free propagation material, during the introduction of new cultivars and for preserving autochthonous varieties in the vineyards of BiH.
Therefore, there is a need for better cooperation of professional, scientific and government institutions with grapevine growers and wineries in order to modernize production process, with the ultimate aim of achieving a better quality of grapes and grape products. Although BiH has a good potential and excellent conditions for viticulture, wine imports are almost five times higher than exports. Quality planting material is an important prerequisite for the success of grape production. In older plantations there are mainly autochthonous cultivars while in new vineyards there is a modern cultivar assortment. Selection of appropriate grape varieties is crucial in modern viticulture. One of the main problems is also the lack of vineyard cadastre. Viticulture in BiH is characterized by the dominance of small family owned vineyards (up to 2 ha) and the sector still faces many problems hampering its full development. The vineyards area in BiH has increased in recent years. BiH has good soil and climate conditions for grape growing and the country has a large number of native varieties. A number of secondary data sources have been consulted. Research is based on an extensive literature review. This paper presents the state-of-the-art of viticulture development in BiH. The structure of viticulture and the wine sector in BiH has profoundly changed in the post-civil war period. Viticulture is an important branch of agriculture in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).
