TIRANA, November 25 – The Agency for Agricultural and Rural Development is rapidly advancing the digitalization of the agricultural sector. The agency established and activated the Land Parcel Identification System LPIS. This system is a key tool for transparent and efficient management of European Union funds.

LPIS relies on satellite imagery and advanced EU standards. The system will modernize the administration of support schemes for farmers. It enables online applications for subsidies. It reduces bureaucracy and increases accuracy in verifying agricultural land data.

New technology allows continuous and automated monitoring of farmland. This approach is expected to improve transparency and speed up fund distribution to farmers.

LPIS also helps Albanian institutions meet technical and administrative conditions required for EU integration.

The system is crucial for aligning with EU common agricultural policies. It strengthens efficiency in services provided to farmers. Agriculture digitalization remains one of Albania’s main priorities on its path toward EU membership.

With LPIS operational, farmers gain a simpler, faster, and safer process for receiving financial support. The country benefits from a modern system that ensures fair and sustainable management of agricultural funds.

This year, 70,000 farmers applied nationwide for eight support measures under the national agriculture support scheme.
