Business operations of BiH companies in the Kosovo market were largely called into question in the past period by the introduction of 100% tariffs on BiH products, as well as the visa regime.
As the tariffs have been abolished, and despite the retained visa regime, conditions have been created for the unhindered return of our products to this very important market for BiH producers.
As in previous years, in order to maintain the continuity of the presence of BiH producers in the Kosovo market, the Chamber of Economy of the Federation of BiH invites entrepreneurs to take part in the upcoming 24th International Fair of Agribusiness, Food, Beverages and Gastronomy AGROKOS 2024, which will be held from 16 to 17 October 2024 at the Palace of Youth and Sports in Pristina, Kosovo.
“Agrokos” has grown into a traditional and attractive meeting place where entrepreneurs from the agricultural sector of the Balkan region, as well as from Southeast Europe, meet to establish business cooperation. Last year, the fair hosted over 170 exhibitors from 9 countries and had 10,540 visitors. Participation in the fair is the best way to find your best potential business partner in Kosovo and neighboring countries, learn about the latest technological trends, and through the new, free e-platform called 365 Days B2B, you will be promoted throughout the year.
This year’s exhibition program includes:
• food products and beverages,
• agricultural preparations,
• seeds, fertilizers, greenhouses,
• agricultural machinery,
• equipment and technology,
• horticulture,
• Bio and Halal products
The Chamber of Economy of the Federation of BiH will, for the eighth time in a row, rent a 54m2 stand for the purpose of presenting the BiH economy, where domestic companies from this field are planned to be presented. The number of exhibitors is limited to a maximum of 5 domestic companies that meet the criteria and pass the selection process, as defined below. Each BiH company will have approx. 10m2 of arranged
