Sažetak
Food consumption surveys are very often used to identify adequate nutrition diet according to some region specification and budget constraints. This paper analyses and compares the food consumption and the optimal structure of the food basket in Bosnia & Herzegovina and Croatia. The analysis is done using nutritional modelling with linear programming. The idea is to form and compare food baskets in these two countries, according to different nutrition and traditional constraint. The different food baskets are formed using adequate average adult person daily nutritional needs and specific food consumption in the country. Every formed food basked is connected with different linear programming models. The data used for the models consisted of 88 food items from the general consumption of the population of Bosnia & Herzegovina and Croatia, according to COICOP classifications and HBS survey, with average prices in 2015 for these products.
