TIRANA, May 29/ATA/ Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Andis Salla presented today in Shijak the establishment of three new Agricultural Cooperatives Societies to enhance collaboration among farmers and bolster support for the rural sector.
Salla said that these agricultural structures encompass 84 farmers across various sectors. The minister highlighted that a 53-member cooperative focuses on mixed crops (vegetables, citrus, cereals, and vineyards), while the remaining 31 farmers are split between an olive oil cooperative (15 members) and the livestock sector (16 members).
The minister emphasized that through this model, the farmers will have more opportunities for cooperation, wider access to financial support and full benefit from the measures of the National Scheme 2026.
Salla considered the creation of the cooperative societies as an important step towards a more efficient organization of agricultural producers, increased competitiveness and sustainable development of the sector.
Mayor of Shijak Elton Arbana was also present at the presentation of this initiative. /j.p/p.s./
