In his video message, Harka shows that in 2018 he received support from the state budget for the reconstruction of the collection point and its transformation into a center up to the standards in the town of Përmet.

“Thanks to the support from the IPARD program, for investments in equipment, machinery and technology for the selection, filling, packaging and labeling of processed agricultural products, I have increased the standards and production capacity,” says Harka.

He said that, “the processed products prepared in this fruit and vegetable collection unit are in high demand throughout the country.

The collection of fruits and vegetables is done mainly in the area of Përmet and the factory offers a wide variety of quality products that are prepared there, thanks to advanced technology, from compotes, glycos, jams, etc., which are sold in the local and foreign market.

Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Frida Krifca, shared the example of Flori, a returnee from emigration who is investing in his land, to set up a model farm based on the experience gained in Greece, where he worked in peach plantations since 15 years old.

“In Babunja he started from scratch and has expanded the area of the peach orchard and nectarine by 7 ha for several years,”Krifca said. The Minister noted that, “while expressing his concern about the production costs, for which we will offer support through tax-free diesel fuel, he is also thinking of investing in plantation fire protection, an investment for which he will turn to the IPARD program for support. ”
