Agri Products Europe SHPK was founded in November 2013 in Gradishtë, Fier County, trading in the export and import of food products. It is now building its own growing and packing operation on the same plain — beginning with a single crop and a single market, then widening the base year by year.
The company began with a straightforward observation: Albania has the climate, the soil and the labour to supply European produce markets, but very little of the modern infrastructure that buyers require. Land sits underused while importers look for reliable, traceable supply.
So we started at the other end — with the buyer. Before planting at scale, we secured a contract to export bell peppers to Spain, and let that specification dictate how the farm is built: what we plant, how we irrigate, how we grade, how we ship. Everything since has followed from that first commitment.
The company is not new — it has been registered in Gradishtë since November 2013, in the export and import of food products — but the farm is. Land is being prepared, infrastructure is being installed, and the first export season is ahead of us. We would rather say that plainly than claim a growing history we do not have.
Grow to a signed specification, not to hope.
Every lot traceable from parcel to pallet.
Local employment, local processing, local value.
Five phases, each funded by the one before it.
It is also where we help others establish production. Invest in agriculture in Albania →
Flat alluvial farmland between the Adriatic coast and the lagoon national park, in Fier County — one of Albania's most productive agricultural belts. Mild winters, long growing seasons and a coastal road network that puts EU markets within a two-day drive.
The team's background is in operations and trade rather than tradition — so the farm is being designed like infrastructure.
Structures extend the season and stabilise quality; field acreage carries volume.
Water and nutrients delivered at the root, scheduled against soil moisture readings.
Parcel-level analysis sets rotation, amendment and cover-cropping plans from day one.
Inputs, harvest dates and lot numbers logged per parcel and carried onto the pallet.
Year-round roles in the region, with agronomy support brought in from established growers.
Packing house, pre-cooling and freight planned together, not bolted on after harvest.
