Agricultural Cooperative

"RADOBOLJA"

We are a company that has been collecting wild medicinal herbs and forest fruits for 30 years. We are located in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, more precisely Herzegovina, where good climatic conditions prevail for wild medicinal plants and forest fruits. The springs have enough natural moisture, and the summers are warm, which favors the development of quality medicinal plants and forest fruits.

 

The areas from which we collect medicinal herbs are ecologically clean without industrial and other pollutants, which makes our medicinal herbs and forest fruits better, which is especially reflected in the content of essential oil and other active substances in medicinal herbs. An example is sage, which is our main product, where the content of essential oil reaches up to 2.5%, harvest June-September.

Medicinal herbs and forest fruits are collected by our subcontractors who are educated for picking and drying organic medicinal plants and forest fruits and are certified by official institutions and experts.

On an annual level, we collect and dry about 400 tons and over 30 types of medicinal plants and forest fruits, of which 95% are placed in some EU countries and Southeast Europe and 5% are placed on the domestic market.
