Our family-run dairy farm is located in northern Albania, in a rural area with good potential for further expansion and development. The farm currently focuses on raw milk production with a present daily milk output of around 550 litres.
The farm operates on approximately 2.5 hectares of land and benefits from a location where there are no neighbouring buildings directly restricting future development of the site. This provides good physical conditions for increasing the herd, improving farm infrastructure and, in a later stage, developing a dedicated dairy-processing facility.
At present, the farm mainly produces and sells raw milk. One of our main goals is therefore to gradually modernise the farm, improve operational efficiency and introduce more advanced equipment and technologies where economically feasible.
Our long-term development plan is to move beyond raw milk production and create a modern dairy-processing operation for bottled milk, yoghurt and cheese. We aim to build this step by step, combining increased milk production with efficient processing, good hygiene standards, modern cooling systems and sustainable use of resources.
Sustainability is an important part of our future strategy. We are particularly interested in energy-efficient milk cooling and processing, renewable energy, water recovery and reuse, efficient cleaning systems, manure management, circular use of agricultural residues, whey and dairy by-product valorisation, and sustainable packaging solutions.
We are also interested in digital technologies that could improve farm management, resource monitoring, water and nutrient efficiency, production planning and decision-making. The combination of practical dairy farming and modern digital solutions could support both higher productivity and better environmental performance.
The farm is also located approximately 20 minutes by car from the Montenegro border, which may provide additional opportunities for cross-border cooperation, regional value chains and future partnerships with organisations in neighbouring countries and the wider European market.
Our objective is to develop the farm into a modern, resilient and sustainable dairy business while maintaining its family-run character. We are particularly interested in cooperation with European research organisations, technology providers, food-processing companies, innovation partners and Horizon Europe consortia that are looking for real farms as pilot sites, demonstration environments or practical implementation partners.
We are open to cooperation in areas such as circular bioeconomy, sustainable food production, water resilience, renewable energy, digital agriculture, rural development, resource efficiency and innovative dairy processing. Our main interest is in practical solutions that can be implemented in a real operating farm and that can contribute to long-term productivity, sustainability and competitiveness.
