Agriculture Sector in Kosovo And Opportunities for Cooperation With Balkans Countries

Kosovo has a total land area of 10,908 km2, with a total length of 602 km land borders. Kosovo lies in a geographical basin situated at an altitude of about 500 km meters surrounded by mountains and divided by a central north/south ridge in two sub –regions. Kosovo`s continental climate is characterized by temperature between -20°C during the winter and + 35°C during the summer. The average rainfall is up to 700 mm. The two main agro-ecological areas are determined by climate, soil and vegetation: the south-west Dukagjini plain with a more Mediterranean climate and the eastern part with a more continental climate. Due to the diverse landscape structure, geographic base, flora, climate and hydrography soils in Kosovo vary with respect to agriculture. It is estimated that 15% of Kosovo‘s soil is of high quality, 29% is medium and 56% is poor quality. High and medium quality soils are composed of humus soil (11%) that is mostly distributed in the Kosovo plain, grey carbonate land (8.4%), alluvial (7.8%) and other dark and serpentine soils. Kosovo is, for the time being, a great importer of fruits, vegetables and decorative plants starting from the planting material to final products that this sector provides. Kosovo has an increasing growth potential of export of fruits and vegetables in neighboring countries and broader based on these specifics: Grain sector in Kosovo is one of the main sectors. The total area planted with cereals in 2012 was 137,215 ha. Total domestic production was about 350,000 ton which covers 76% of domestics needs and other part is covered by import. The trade balance was negative but the value of wheat imported is 40% lower than in 2011
