Mobile Bio Market Launched 🌿

Women from Kosovo Albanian, Kosovo Serb and Kosovo Roma communities came together in Gračanica/Graçanicë and Obiliq/Obilić last week, to offer their own locally grown and homemade agricultural products through the UNMIK-supported Mobile Bio Market.

Implemented by Agromedicine Association, the initiative supports women’s economic empowerment while fostering interethnic cooperation, local development and trust building.

Designed as a travelling eco-market, the mobile van will move across Kosovo, connecting women producers with new customers and bringing fresh local products, from vegetables and fruit to honey, ajvar and preserves, closer to all communities.
