Fasli Bajrami, a farmer with over 35 years of experience, manages around 0.7 hectares of modern greenhouses growing a variety of vegetables, including lettuce, strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and eggplants—all grown locally and sold under the “Made in Albania” label.

Bajrami’s farm operates as a family business, with all members involved in daily production and processing. The operation provides stable income and contributes to the local economy, Agriculture Minister said.

Denaj stated that the farm benefited from the National Investment Scheme through a combined financing package: a 50% grant and a low-interest loan at 2%, supported by a sovereign guarantee covering up to 70% of the collateral.

“This financing model has enabled the expansion and modernization of farming activities, increasing both yield and quality,” Denaj said.

The scheme is part of the government’s broader efforts to promote sustainable agriculture and rural revitalization. Agriculture Minister said Bajrami’s case illustrates how targeted state support, combined with experience and dedication, can deliver tangible and lasting results.

“Across the country, smallholder farmers are contributing to food security and the national economy, while reaffirming agriculture’s long-term potential as a strategic sector,” she added.
