Zadrugarstvo u BiH kroz ovaj rad promatrano je od njegovog početka, od formiranja prve zadruge u BiH, do današnjih dana, odnosno donošenja jedinstvenog zakona o zadrugama za BiH. Prateći kronološki njegov razvoj, kroz zakonodavstvo koje je bilo aktualno, dat je prikaz broja zadruga, upravljačka struktura, kao i opis pojedinih tipova zadruga koje su egzistirale na području BiH. Jasno su naznačeni razlozi zbog kojih je zadrugarstvo bilo slabo razvijeno, kao i eventualne dobre strane pojedinih tipova zadruga.Cooperatives in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH) are studied in this paper from their very beginnings, from the formation of the first cooperatives in BH up to the present time, i.e. until the law concerning cooperatives has been adopted in BH. As we followed its chronological development through the legislation applied at that time, the number of cooperatives, its leadership structure as well as the description of certain types of cooperatives that existed in BH are presented. The reasons for the poor conditions in cooperatives are clearly stated as well as some good points in certain types of cooperatives
