TIRANA, Aug 9 /ATA/ – Nurellari winery is one of the eligible recipients and beneficiaries from the EU pre-accession assistance for rural development IPARD II programme for investment projects on viticulture, agricultural mechanics, as well as machinery, wine processing and packaging lines.
Levent Nurellari, representative of Nurellari winery shared his success story via a video message, saying thanks the support under the IPARD II programme he has expanded the vineyard area and has increased wine production.
“This is one of vineyards of Nurellari winery, a 2.2 hectare area featuring two Albanian endemic grape varieties. This vineyard has been expanded under a 70% subsidy under the IPARD programme. Investment completed four years ago and this year has been really an abundant year. We have worked hard to grow and cultivate grapes here and this work process requires a large number of workers,” he said.
Nurellari encouraged local farmers to involve in grape growing and expand area of vineyards to meet the needs of this sector.
“Our winery is constantly growing and expanding and we need larger quantities of grape. Nurellari winery currently owns a total of 22 hectares of vineyards and we are working to expand the area to over 35 hectares through the last cycle of our investment plants,” he said.
