Picked raspberries are pictured in the village of Zeljezno Polje

Picked raspberries are pictured in the village of Zeljezno Polje, about 130km (81 miles) north of Sarajevo, June 25, 2011. Zeljezno Polje is one of the largest producers of raspberries in Bosnia. At the beginning of the summer until August, around 400 tons of raspberries are produced, with 90 percent of the owners of the plantations being demobilized soldiers of the Army of BiH and this is their only form of livelihood.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In the picturesque village of Zeljezno Polje, nestled about 130km north of Sarajevo, a vibrant scene unfolds as picked raspberries take center stage. This print captures the essence of this Bosnian village, renowned for being one of the largest raspberry producers in the country. Taken on June 25,2011, by talented photographer Dado Ruvic from Reuters Images, this image showcases rows upon rows of plump and juicy raspberries. Each berry is meticulously hand-picked by hardworking individuals who call themselves demobilized soldiers from the Army of BiH. For them, cultivating these berries has become their sole means of sustenance. During summer until August - when nature's bounty is at its peak - approximately 400 tons of raspberries are harvested in Zeljezno Polje alone. The significance lies not only in the quantity but also in how it impacts local livelihoods. With an astonishing 90 percent ownership belonging to these former soldiers turned farmers, raspberry cultivation has become their lifeline. This photograph serves as a testament to resilience and determination against all odds. It portrays a community that has found solace and purpose amidst adversity through agriculture. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image symbolizes self-sufficiency and unity within Zeljezno Polje—a place where raspberries have transformed lives while simultaneously contributing to Bosnia's thriving agricultural sector.
