subventions, the farmers from Bužim participated with 12.82%. In 2005, 75 applications were submitted to USK Cantonal Employment Bureau for agricultural production crediting. 25 applications were approved (140,000 km in crediting funds and 50,000 km in irreversible funds). These data were obtained from Bužim Employment Bureau. In 2005 only three farmers were included in Stimulating Program for Employment in Agriculture, created by Federal Ministry of Displaced Persons and Refugees. The Program will be continued in 2006. The credits have been approved for purchase of 10 reproductive cows in the amount of 30,085 km. The credits have also been arranged for purchase of cultivators and their accessories (trailers, ploughs, milling machines and croppers), and for 6 reproductive cows, in the total amount of 33,745.50 km. Apiculture Despite the fact that there is a small number of apiculturists in Bužim, apiculture as an agricultural branch could be significant. Apiculture should be given more attention because honey as the main bee product is irreplaceable in nutrition. Besides honey, bee products are considered to be: wax used in chemical and pharmaceutical industry, propolis, royal jelly and bee venom. Honey production is an additional activity of the population by which the family budgets are increased. The approximate production is 12 kilos per beehive, and honey is sold in the local market. No application has been submitted for subvention for honey production, because for submission of the application, pursuant to the Law on Primary Agricultural Production Support, it was necessary to submit the receipt of purchase or sale together with other necessary receipts. Bužim municipality and its surrounding has suitable flora influenced by geographical position, favorable climatic and hydrologic conditions, which is all a good starting point for development of apiculture. Given that Bosnia-Herzegovina does not produce sufficient quantities of honey and other bee products, as compared to consumption, as well as other neighboring countries, including EU members, the placement of these products to the market is not questionable. The guidelines for development of apiculture are as follows: to enable selling of bee products both in and out of the country, pursue activities to increase the production of honey, pollen and other bee products. Mushroom production and wild fruits Button mushroom production in the private sector should be given a special attention because it could significantly contribute to employment in the country. A program should be created for this production, and the farmers should be enabled
