TIRANA, March 10 – Gold medal honors were awarded to four olive oil producers, all members of the Albanian Alimentary Oil Association (AOA), who participated at the 4th International Olive Oil Congress, ‘Olive Split 2008,’ held on February 23 in Split, Croatia.
The two-day conference aimed to promote high-quality olive oil produced in Croatia, Montenegro, and Albania.
The presence of the Albanian delegation was funded from USAID which also arranged meetings with technology and packaging suppliers and foreign buyers seeking to help Albanian processors expand business relationships with buyers and adopt new marketing strategies to be more competitive in the region. Albania will host its first Albanian Olive Oil Day in May 2008 in Himara which will be organized by the Municipality of Himara, the oil association and USAID.
