At Botë Farm, an agritourism venture in Finiq owned by a Californian couple, Ms. VanHorn discussed with the owners the challenges they’ve faced, including bureaucratic complications.

She reaffirmed the U.S. Embassy’s commitment to helping them navigate these obstacles and sustain their business. Ms. VanHorn also visited Gjirofarm, one of Albania’s largest dairy producers, which has benefited from USAID Albania’s assistance in establishing a modern water treatment facility and enhancing production processes.

Through ongoing support, the United States is bolstering Albania’s key economic sectors, crucial for the country’s EU accession and competitive positioning within the EU common market.
