In Kosovo, harvested wheat is expected to cover only 30 per cent of local needs

So said Tahir Tahiri, chairman of the Federation of Farmers Union.

There's not more than 400,000 acres planted, somewhere. Based on very low productivity, we will have no more than 30 percent of the population's needs. With these surfaces and productivity we will not reach more than 3 thousandkg per hectares, the average”, Tahiri has been expressed in Kosovo Clan.

He has complained to the Ministry of Agriculture about the failure to oversee the harvest-forest campaign, adding that misuses have occurred.

The harvesting campaign in general is going well because the nationals who are engaged in the field are working without any problems. There may be some national harvesters here and there who are reaping at the most expensive price. 130 euros has been allocated the price for hectare by the Ministry of Agriculture, but there are nationals reaping at 150 euros hectar”.

The Ministry of Agriculture has neglected the campaign, has not formed the harvesting-for-kind headquarters. A year's bread is provided for the population, and we have to make a lot more of it”.

Tahiri has also said that farmers have not yet received subsidies for grain shared by the Ministry of Agriculture.
