By establishing this Local Employment Partnership, existing resources for development, improvement and the employment/self-employment process in the agribusiness sector will be identified, and a document on Situational Analysis and Employment Opportunities through the establishment of sustainable family farms will be prepared. A Local Action Plan for Employment in the agribusiness sector will also be developed, production-purchase cooperative relations established, and an informal cluster of medicinal and aromatic herbs established as a kind of successor to the AgroMAP network in BiH. Infrastructure support will also be improved through the establishment of a production/food unit in the Zavidovići Business Incubator with installed fixed and mobile equipment – a machine ring – consisting of: mobile distillers; dryers – fixed and mobile, land cultivation equipment – tractors and tillers, mowers, hoes, motor scythes – trimmers and sprayers.
