Ahead of All Saints' Day, the floral industry in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina faces a mix of economic challenges and high seasonal demand. The Croatian Chamber of Crafts (HOK) has raised concerns regarding rising operational costs and unfair competition from unregistered street and social media vendors who avoid taxes and legal obligations. Additionally, changes to the Trade Act have impacted artisans operating at cemeteries and shrines.

Despite these concerns, retail reports from Mostar and Virovitica indicate that prices for flowers, lanterns, and cemetery arrangements remain relatively stable compared to previous years. While street vendors offer more affordable home-grown options, retail shops and markets provide a wide variety of chrysanthemums, roses, and lanterns, with prices varying based on quality and complexity.
