This report tells the story of how Kosovo’s food sector evolved between 2013 and 2025, focusing on vegetables, fruits, medicinal and aromatic plants and non-wood forest products.
It reflects on how systemic constraints such as low productivity, weak processing capacity and poor market access were addressed through a market systems development approach.
It focuses on the PPSE programme, highlighting changes in production, aggregation, processing, standards and exports, driven by partnerships, innovation and collective action.
The report is a reflective learning document rather than an impact evaluation, intended to inform future sector development beyond the programme’s closure.
