Today, Mr. Zenel Bunjaku - Executive Director of IADK has individually signed contracts with the first 5 beneficiaries (Collection Points for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants).
These beneficiaries are from various municipalities of Kosovo:
1. Agro-Florentina sh.p.k from Skenderaj,
2. Agro 2000 from Dragash,
3. NB Asimi from Kaçanik,
4. BIO Sharri from Shtërrpce
5. Gazmend Zeka B.I from Podujeva.
Beneficiaries will be supported with thermal dryers with a drying surface of 40m2, which will be modern and will contribute to environmental preservation, energy savings of up to 70%, and will meet the drying needs of MAP growers and collectors.
The thermal dryers with a drying surface of 40m² will be equipped with a reservoir for storing hot water, an appropriate boiler, an inverter for efficient energy use, and a data logger for the temperature and humidity of the MAP drying. This activity will contribute to stabilizing the MAP sector, improving dried products, product consistency, sustainability, and increasing MAP exports.
Also, a beneficiary of the 40m² dryer was visited to see the construction process of the dryer and to inspect the work being carried out by the local company Osa Termosistem.
The call for applications is open, and interested parties can apply to the project for support.
This activity was carried out within the framework of the project "Supporting the BMA value chain through job creation and export continuation," supported by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, mandated by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany.
