In Divjakë, the “Vjen” farm has grown from a small family initiative in 2005 into a major agricultural enterprise with 1,600 cattle.

Andis Salla visited the farm and highlighted its daily production of around 20 tons of milk. The farm now plays a key role in Albania’s national dairy supply chain.

Spanning over 350 hectares, the farm is fully self-sufficient in feed. Owner Eltoni has built a sustainable production cycle based on consistent work and dedication.

Salla said the government will continue supporting farms through the National Scheme. The program aims to strengthen medium and large farms, enhance the value chain, and increase local production for the market.

The National Scheme is a core policy tool for rural development. It ensures quality production and helps farms prepare for European market integration.

Key 2025 measures include support for registered cattle and young stock, beekeeping, seeds and seedlings, medicinal and aromatic plants, organic farming, Global GAP certification, and fuel for mechanized agricultural work.

Additionally, the program provides 100% funding for farmer groups and cooperatives, promoting collaboration and sustainable growth in the sector.
