AGRICULTURE
Tobacco station

Bratunac development is with its great deal based on a strong agriculture sector. Dominant factors for stimulus of these production are climate, height above sea level, hydropotential and tradition. This economic branch meets with problems as are: rare population rural areas, shortage of production organization (planting-purchase), shortage of mechanism and capital goods, and an unexisting  of private collective farms. From 293 km2, in municipality, an agriculture land is 12067 hectares. Working of the soil is 6731 hectares or 55,7%.
