The investment was backed by the Federation's economy ministry, Herzegovina-Neretva Canton's ministry of economy, and the Sarajevo Economic Regional Development Agency (SERDA), the municipality of Neum said in a press release on Monday.
The factory is intended to be used by local olive farmers.
SERDA was established by a number of Bosnian municipalities in 2001 with the aim to stimulate economic development.
Herzegovina-Neretva is one of 10 cantons of the Federation, one of two autonomous entities that form Bosnia. The other entity is the Serb Republic.
