Romani Women in Bosnia and Herzegovina Increase Their Production Capacity with the Support of TİKA

The Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA) provided technical support to the organic egg production farm of the “Bolja Budućnost” Tuzla Women’s General Cooperative, which operates in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

With the support provided within the scope of the project, the production capacity of organic eggs from free-range hens reached 150,000 units annually. The increased production capacity contributed to higher income and sustainability for the cooperative, paving the way for potential future investments.

The project handover ceremony was attended by the Ambassador of the Republic of Türkiye to Sarajevo, Emin Akseki; TİKA Sarajevo Coordinator Erdinç Işık; Minister of Economy of Tuzla Canton Edin Duraković; President of the Bolja Budućnost Romani Women’s Association Indira Bajramović; representatives of the Tuzla Canton Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management; the Chamber of Commerce; and members of the Romani community.

In his speech at the ceremony, Ambassador Akseki stated that the farm, equipped with a modern production infrastructure thanks to TİKA’s contributions, provides employment opportunities for Romani citizens in the country. He emphasized that Türkiye will continue to support projects that strengthen social solidarity in all regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
