Livestock, towards a sustainable development plan - Strategic study in the 13 rural units of Tirana
The Municipality of Tirana has announced the opening of the tender for the drafting of a feasibility study and business plan for the development of the livestock sector.
Referring to the document at the Public Procurement Agency, the feasibility study and business plan for the development of the livestock sector aims to analyze, identify and draft policies and sectoral strategies in function of the development of livestock, as well as to guide and support the growth and improvement of the economy in rural areas of the Municipality of Tirana.
