With its unique aroma and taste, the chestnut remains a symbol of Tropoja’s generosity and hospitality.

Today, Bajram Curri hosted the “Chestnut Festival”, a cherished tradition that promotes local products and regional values.

Officials, farmers, entrepreneurs, artisans, and visitors joined the event. Together, they shared a festive atmosphere and pride in Tropoja’s natural wealth.

The festival featured a market with traditional products, chestnut-based dishes, and local crafts. It also created new opportunities for collaboration and sales for local producers.

Mayor Rexh Byberi highlighted on social media: “Tropoja’s chestnut is a valuable agricultural asset. It has high bio-genetic value and directly impacts our community’s economic development.”

He added, “Promoting local products is and will remain a priority. It strengthens farmers’ economies and turns this natural wealth into a cornerstone of our identity.”

Tropoja’s chestnut ecosystem is the largest in the Balkans. The cultivar has high bio-genetic value, boosts the local economy, and draws nature-loving tourists to the region.
