TIRANA, May 12/ATA/ A new model for agricultural education is emerging in Cërrik through the “Mihal Shahini” vocational school’s experimental farm, a MASHAV-backed project that serves as a hands-on training and demonstration hub for local farmers and students.
This investment accelerates the modernization of Albania’s agricultural sector, enhancing productivity and signaling a new chapter in strategic cooperation with Israel.
Prime Minister Edi Rama visited the new farm today to review the investment carried out in partnership with MASHAV (Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation), with the support of the Embassy of Israel and in coordination with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Rama stated that Israel stands as a premier example of utilizing innovation to survive unfavorable geographical conditions.
Rama underlined that, although our country has numerous resources, “What has troubled us for a long time has been a focus on innovation and the best experiences”.
“While appearing as a residential garden, this area serves as the hub of our experimental farm. It is a site for intensive crop research, complemented by adjacent livestock facilities where students and teachers collaborate on hands-on learning”, said Rama.
PM Rama also stressed that an important agreement is expected to be signed with Israel to promote cooperation, with the aim of transferring more knowledge and experience to Albania in the field of modern agriculture. /m.q/j.p/p.s./
