Referring to the National Scheme 2024, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Anila Denaj stated today that, “The cow farms will get support in the amount of 10,000 lekë per head, for herds of 10 to 50 cows”.

“While for each cow above the limit, we will provide 50% of the funding, further encouraging the growth of herds and even a higher economy of scale”, wrote the minister in a post in the social media.

Denaj emphasized that the applicants in Livestock Units created to yield the same product towards the same market and according to the same veterinary protocol, will be the first to benefit by receiving each of them in a separate account the amount of funding at the maximum level. /m.m/p.s./

During her visit to this complex, ARDA Director Frida Krifca said that “When we see such a farm, we would think in which European country we are. But, we are in Shkodra in the area of ​​Vau i Dejës, where Hysniu who has dedicated his life to veterinary medicine, manages to surprise us with his investment”.

The recently established farm with the support of ARDA through IPARD has a capacity of 100 heads of cattle.

Built according to European standards, the space required for cows is completely open in one of the side walls to allow air to enter the cattle and thus help them be more productive.

“This is one of the stories that inspires us to move forward with the support of rural development,” said Krifca.

While Ibrahimaj said that cows can withstand temperatures down to -6 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the investment it has undertaken meets all the technical and scientific criteria for the protection of cows’ health, increasing their well-being and the milk yield it receives from them.

ARDA said that, through the IPARD program, 262 contracts have been committed and over 100 million Euros have been injected in farm investments, processing and diversification of the farm, of which more than 45 million Euros are free grants that have helped the development of 24 modern livestock farms, 30 ha of new modern greenhouses, 18 planting projects rendered into hundreds of new hectares, 8 investments for milking systems, 38 processing lines, selection, packaging, 28 collection facilities, 19 large refrigeration investments and storage capacities, 5 new slaughterhouses, 72 investments in tractors and agricultural machinery./p.s./
