KEP Trust, the largest microfinance institution in Kosovo and the Union of Farmers’ Association “Dukadjini Rural Development” on Thursday signed a Cooperation Agreement for the Development of Agriculture in Kosovo.
Agriculture has a special importance in the economic development of Kosovo and that sector needs investment that promote productive capacities and enhance the quality of products in order to satisfy requirements of the local and export markets. The low level of funding and small capacity are among other major challenges facing agricultural development in the country.
KEP and Farmers Union ‘Dukadjini Rural Development’ have signed a Memorandum of Understanding which aims to promote and improve conditions for agricultural financing in place. In this case KEP donated for the purchase of a machine for cleaning the heels of cattle to farmers in the region. This device will directly impact the health of these animals and the quality of the milk they produce.
