Albania, Italy eye cooperation in agriculture

Xinhua, June 24, 2015 Adjust font size:

Albania and Italy intended to strengthen cooperation and partnership in the fields of agriculture and agribusiness, Albanian Daily News reported on Wednesday.

The Albanian Agribusiness Council (KASH) and the Italian Confederation of Farmers (ICF) signed here a bilateral cooperation agreement, which included visit exchanges between the two groups.

Under the agreement, the ICF will provide knowhow and services to the Albanian side on quality certification, product traceability, food safety, and promotion of agricultural products.

The agreement aimed to create conditions for the development of economic and commercial relations between Albania and Italy and to boost trade between the two countries, said KASH chairman Agim Rrapaj.

Another important point of this agreement was to establish cooperation between the two organizations on international agricultural issues of common interest, said ICF President Secondo Scanavino after signing the agreement. Endi
