The favorable climate and suitable agroecological conditions make Kosovo ideal for cultivating high-quality raspberries. Kosovo's raspberries are distinguished by their rich flavor, characteristic aroma, and vibrant color, making them sought after both in the local market and international markets. Their cultivation is mainly carried out by small and medium-sized producers who pay special attention to quality standards and sustainable agricultural practices.

The favorable ecological and geographical conditions of Kosovo have enabled the development of rich flora, including medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) and non-wood forest products (NWFPs). These natural resources represent a significant ecological and economic wealth for the country, with particular importance for rural development and biodiversity preservation. Kosovo has a long tradition in the collection of these products and is today ranked among the leading countries in the world for organic harvesting. Activities such as the collection and cultivation of these products provide employment opportunities for rural communities and help preserve traditional practices. By applying the principles of organic agriculture, these activities contribute to the protection of the environment, human and animal health, and overall well-being. Among the most well-known products are mushrooms, herbs, and various medicinal plants with high economic value.
Women in agriculture have always played a vital role in rural life in Kosovo, cultivating not only the land but also the resilience of their communities. With dedication, knowledge, and vision, they have moved from traditional family support roles to becoming active entrepreneurs and leaders in the agricultural sector. Despite challenges, women in Kosovo’s agriculture are shaping a more equal and sustainable future for the sector.
