FORECASTING RESULTS, FARMING AREA AND YIELD OF POTATO PRODUCTION IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Abstract

The aim of the authors was to create an adequate trend
model that would be able to forecast the results of potato production
in Bosnia and Herzegovina for a three-year period (2019-2021) by
using quantitative research method and trend analysis. Data collected during twenty-seven years (1992-2018) were used for forecasting, and
the research results have indicated that the farming area and
production of potato will decrease, while yield will be the only
parameter of potato production that will show the tendency of growth
in the obserevd three-year period. The obtained research results can
be used for making strategic decisions related to the development of
this branch of agricultural production.
