Five Women and Minority Owned Businesses Join PePeKo to Strengthen Kosovo’s Fruit and Vegetable Industry

Prishtine, September 1, 2023 — Red Diamond, a prominent player in fruit and vegetable juice processing, has proudly announced its membership in the Association of Fruits and Vegetable Processors of Kosovo (PePeKo). Joining hands with four other businesses—Ajsere Sylejmani I.B., Tradita Jonë, Nojkic, and Natural Berry—this collaboration marks a significant milestone in the industry’s development.

The move comes as part of the efforts by the USAID funded Inclusive Economic Engagement Activity to support and empower businesses in Kosovo. With a focus on fostering diversity and inclusivity, the Activity has facilitated the entry of these five companies into PePeKo, offering them a plethora of opportunities within the fruit and vegetable processing sector.

Membership in PePeKo is set to revolutionize the landscape for these businesses. By becoming part of this association, they gain a voice that echoes their interests and concerns within the industry. This collective representation will enable PePeKo to advocate for their needs, creating avenues for growth and development.

One of the most significant advantages of this membership is the facilitated access to new export markets. PePeKo’s network and expertise will prove invaluable in exploring and tapping into untapped markets, both regionally and globally. This access is poised to expand the reach of these businesses beyond country borders, potentially opening doors to new customers and increased revenue streams.

Moreover, being part of PePeKo means being at the forefront of industry developments. The association is committed to keeping its members informed about the latest trends, technological advancements, and best practices in fruit and vegetable processing. This access to relevant information ensures that these companies stay competitive and innovative in a rapidly evolving market.

The Inclusive Economic Engagement, dedicated to empowering women and minority entrepreneurs, has played a pivotal role in linking these businesses with PePeKo. By facilitating connections between companies and their respective industry associations, the Activity continues to create opportunities for growth and representation.
