Summary Import Approximately 75,000 tonnes of temperate fresh fruits and vegetables1 were imported into Kosovo in 2007 with a declared value of €16,9 million. Import of temperate fresh fruits represented 50.09% of the total by weight and 38.5% of the total declared value. The import of fresh temperate vegetables represented 49.91% of the total volume by weight and 61.5% of the total declared value.

The import of temperate fruit increased by 1.3% over 2006 while the import of vegetables decreased by 11.7%.

Watermelon and apples were the two most imported fruits in 2007 in terms of weight with watermelon representing 54.9% and apples 26.4%.

The five most important vegetable imports – in order of importance by weight - were tomatoes at 42.5%, peppers 16.9%, cabbage 16.8%, cucumbers 12% and onions 6.6%.

The main countries exporting fresh temperate fruit to Kosovo are Macedonia with 62% and Albania with 20% by weight – while for fresh temperate vegetables Macedonia with 47 % and Turkey with 39 %.

Export 3,820 tonnes2 of fresh fruits and vegetables were exported with a declared value of €498,474. Vegetables represented more than 93% of the total in terms of weight and value.

The export of fresh fruits fell by 33% over 2006 while that of vegetables increased by 56.7%.

The most exported fruit was grape with 95% of total export by weight. The main exported vegetables were cabbages at 27% of the total exports followed by tomatoes 25%, onions 24% and peppers 20%.

Introduction This document presents an analysis of the import and export data of fresh temperate fruit and vegetables in Kosovo in 2007 collected by the UNMIK Customs Service. This is the fourth annual analysis of such data carried out by ‘Horticultural Promotion in Kosovo’ (HPK).

The analysis of this data was used by HPK in the elaboration of strategies for product and marketing development with aim of promoting import substitution and, eventually, to that of exports of temperate horticultural produce. 1 Fresh fruits and vegetables which could be grown in Kosovo 2 Some of the produce are re-exported as it is recorded at periods of the year when it is not possible to produce locally.



The document covers the temperate fruits and vegetables – those which could be grown locally -under the TARIK3 custom codes 07 and 08. It includes the following: Fruits:

• table grapes (but not wine), watermelons, melons, apples, pears, apricots, cherries, nectarines, peaches, plums, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and

Vegetables: • Tomatoes, onions, garlic, leeks, cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, chicory, carrots, celery,

horse radish, cucumbers, gherkins, peas, beans, artichokes, asparagus, aubergine, celery, peppers, spinach.

This document also includes trend analysis of import and export for certain key products comparing the data 2005, 2006 and 2007.

3 The integrated tariffs of Kosovo utilise a nomenclature of goods (codes and description) based on the Harmonised System of the World Customs Organisation (WCO) and on the Combined Nomenclature of the European Communities, as applicable from 1 January 2006.



Overview of imports & exports Fruit imports 37, 651 tonnes of fresh temperate fruit were imported into Kosovo in 2007, with a declared value of €6.52 million and represented an increase of 1.3% by weight over the previous year. Watermelon and apples represented more than 80% of total import by weight and more than 63% of the declared value.

Macedonia was by far the most important of fruit exporting countries accounting for 61% by weight (including 82% of all apples and 63% of all watermelon).

The situation regarding the individual products is described below:

• The import of watermelon increased by 1.2% or 250 tonnes compared to the previous year. High import is recorded during June and July. Compared to the previous year imports increased in June by 50% and 15% in July while in August fell by 69% - possibly as a result of increased local main season production.

• A reduction of imports over those of 2006 has been recorded for Apples, Apricots, Cherries, and Plums – likely to be a result of a fall in the purchasing power in Kosovo rather than an increase of local production.

• Imports of strawberries fell by 43% - almost certainly as a result of the expansion of local production. Some imports are still recorded during the period of February, March, April and May some of which could be substituted with indoor cultivation.

Fruit exports

• Export of fresh temperate fruits is very low compared to imports. Grapes dominate as the main exported product. Some of the exports e.g. apples may be re-exports since they were recorded at times of the year when little, if any, stored apples produced locally are available.

• The majority of total exports (95%) were dedicated for the market of Montenegro.

• A summary of these exports are presented in Annex XIX

Vegetable imports 37,686 tonnes of fresh temperate vegetables were imported into Kosovo in 2007 with a declared value of €10.3 million and represented a decrease of 11.7% by weight over the previous year. The most important imported products were tomatoes 42.5% by weight, peppers 16.9%, cabbages 16.8%, cucumbers12% and onions with 6.6%.

Turkey and Macedonia remained the main exporting countries representing more that 80% by weight. Turkey supplied Kosovo during the off-season when prices were high while Macedonia supplied during the main season when prices were lower. Significant reductions were registered in the imports of onions, peppers, cucumbers and leeks.

• Tomato imports fell by 7.9%. Compared to the previous year imports of tomatoes increased during the period when there is no local production (April, May) while decreased in the period (June, July and August) when local production is available. This is a strong message that local production is successfully substituting for imports based on production seasonality and lower price of locally produced tomatoes compared to the imported tomatoes.

• Import of onions fell by 39.6 % - the reduction being recorded throughout the year. Onions show the greatest percentage reduction in imports of all vegetables over the last few years – even though proper storing facilities barely exist in-country.



• Cabbage imports increased by 9% and comprised the early salad types (March – June). Of the total import of cabbages 99% originated in Macedonia. The main production is located in the south (Gevgelija) with a comparative advantage over Kosovo for early production.

• Import of cucumbers fell by 16.5%. Both types of cucumbers (early salad types and late gherkins dedicated for processing) fell compared to the previous year. It is thought that this decline is a result of increasing local production which affects the import substitution.

• Carrots imports increased by 19.3% with the peak occurring in September and October– period when starts the pickling season and demand is very high. In 2007 occurred changes in regards to source of origin. While in 2006, Turkey leads as main exporting country to Kosovo which means that we had carrots supply during the off season, in 2007 this situation was changed - Macedonia leads as main exporting country with 50% of total import by weight targeting Kosovo market during the early and main carrot season (September – October).

• Leeks, garlic, cauliflower, spinach, lettuce etc have a limited impact in overall international trade in terms of weight and value.

Vegetable exports The export of fresh temperate vegetables amounts to 3,219 tonnes – a 56% increase over 2006 and representing 8.54% of the total volume of imports by weight. The main products exported are cabbages, tomatoes, onions and peppers. Main importing country was Montenegro accounting 49% of total by weight. Details of the export of individual products are presented in Annex XX

• Cabbage was the most exported product in 2007. High volumes of exports started in June and continued until December – and were mainly produced in Mamusha. Montenegro (42% of total by weight) and Bulgaria (24%) were the main importing countries.

• Approximately 80% of the total export of tomatoes originates from domestic sources – the majority from Mamusha, while the rest are re-exports. The main importing countries were Albania (with 45% of total export by weight) followed by Bulgaria (with 24%) and Montenegro (22%).

• Export of onions occurred in July-December during the peak of harvest and the period during which onions could be kept in crude storing facilities. Montenegro was the main importing country with 92% of total by weight.

• The bulk of pepper exports were of the well-known local “Somborka”. The exports occurred during the main harvest season that coincides with the start of the pickling season. Montenegro is the main importing country with 47% of total weight.

• Export of Cucumbers, Cauliflower, Beans, Carrots, Garlic, Leek , Gherkins, Spinach in terms of weight were lower than the other products and were mainly sent to Montenegro.



International trade in fruit and vegetables Total imports of temperate fruits and vegetables in 2007 amounted to 75,152 tonnes – with a declared value4 of €16,917 million.

2005 2006 2007

Source: UNMIK Customs service 2007 The decrease in imports of vegetables is a result of an increase in local production and early market supply with different products while the export of vegetables was mainly impacted by a shortage of supply in neighbouring countries which resulted in an increase of demand caused by tourism and dry season in some countries in the region.

Imports of fruits in general remained the same compared to the previous year. Exports of fruits are very low compared to imports of vegetables. Grapes are the main exported products.
