INTRODUCTION<br />

This catalog presents MADE IN KOSOVA products and services assessed to be ready for export. The<br />

catalog focuses on sectors that have the potential to generate revenues through exports. Many of these<br />

companies have already started exporting their products and services to Europe and other regions<br />

around the world.<br />

The selected businesses are primarily partner enterprises of the USAID EMPOWER Private Sector project,<br />

in partnership with the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. Since July 2014, this<br />

project has been engaged in stimulating wide-scale creation of new jobs by boosting the competitiveness<br />

of <strong>Kosovo</strong> firms in sectors ready for development, such as apparel, wood processing, information and<br />

communications technology (ICT), renewable energy, tourism and metal processing. <strong>To</strong> date, this project<br />

has created over 2,973 new jobs across <strong>Kosovo</strong>, with plans to create a total of 5,000 new jobs by July 2019.<br />

WOOD PROCESSING<br />

The <strong>Kosovo</strong> wood-processing industry is a leader in the production of hotel, restaurant and café (HoReCa) interiors, kitchens,<br />

kitchen cabinets, bedroom furniture, chairs, desks, doors and windows. In particular, products such as kitchens, chairs, bedroom<br />

furniture and tables have the most potential in export markets. There is visible demand in the <strong>Kosovo</strong> market for interior design,<br />

custom-made closets and installations. This potential also includes hotel and restaurant interior renovations in the local and<br />

regional markets.<br />

<strong>Kosovo</strong> wood-furniture manufacturers have taken big leaps in recent years. Product quality and range have increased, leading<br />

to expansion into export markets. <strong>Kosovo</strong> furniture manufacturers and wood processors provide furniture products to export<br />

markets in Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, as well as in regional markets in the Western Balkans.<br />

Current wood-sector sales are considerable. The annual value of furniture and other wood products ranges from €100 million to<br />

€120 million (<strong>Kosovo</strong> Ministry of Finance, 2014), including indirect effects, resulting in a GDP share of 2.4 to 3 percent for the wood<br />

industry. The main types of wood utilized in <strong>Kosovo</strong> are beech, oak, pine and other solid wood. Several <strong>Kosovo</strong> products are also<br />

sold on the internet through Amazon and Cleveroo in Europe under the name Shwarzwald Massiveholz, a brand created for wood<br />

products from <strong>Kosovo</strong>.<br />

<strong>Export</strong>-oriented activities within the wood-processing sector have intensified in the last five years. After 2010, the woodprocessing<br />

industry became more export oriented, and industry exports, based on USAID EMPOWER Private Sector reports,<br />

accounted for approximately €10 million (Increase of Competitiveness and <strong>Export</strong> Promotion, 2018). While <strong>Kosovo</strong> wood<br />

processors have good buyers primarily in Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Macedonia and Albania, over 80 percent of the<br />

sector's sales are local. Over the last few years, the most exported wood products from <strong>Kosovo</strong> were kitchens, kitchen cabinets,<br />

chairs, staircases and bedroom furniture. This trend is ongoing.<br />

There are investment opportunities in several wood-processing cycles. There is great potential in the wood-processing sector<br />

for doors, windows and various types of furniture products. Likewise, due to the extensive experience and know-how among<br />

wood-processing companies, the <strong>Kosovo</strong> wood-processing industry is positioned particularly well for the production of<br />

handmade luxury products.<br />

There is potential for the successful development of the <strong>Kosovo</strong> wood-processing sector. Improved infrastructure within the<br />

country, including a good road network and reasonable associated transport costs, are advantageous for the development of the<br />

wood-processing sector. <strong>Kosovo</strong> distribution network shipments can be delivered by truck to any location in Europe within 48<br />

hours at an affordable price (USAID EMPOWER Private Sector, 2014).<br />

Apparel<br />

Many companies are engaged in the apparel sector. There are six apparel sub-sectors in <strong>Kosovo</strong>: work uniforms, sportswear,<br />

jeans, bridal dresses, underwear and footwear. In 2014, there were 522 apparel manufacturers registered with the <strong>Kosovo</strong><br />

Business Registration Agency (KBRA), and this number has increased to 860, of which 200 have been identified by the USAID<br />

EMPOWER Private Sector project (USAID EMPOWER Private Sector, 2014).<br />

Textile clothing dominates the structure of apparel production. At the sector level, 80 percent of apparel manufacturing in<br />

<strong>Kosovo</strong> is for textile clothing, while the remaining 20 percent is in footwear and leather. Leather manufacturing has recently<br />

experienced strong growth. The micro-scale nature of textile companies implies that they operate almost exclusively for the<br />

domestic market and are mostly oriented toward special demand markets.<br />

The sector offers key advantages. There is local know-how and a cost-effective workforce, as well as a friendly investment and<br />

business environment.<br />

Significant growth of exports in this sector has been recorded. Textile exports increased by 15 percent in 2014, compared to<br />

2013, while imports have increased by 1 percent over the same period. In 2015, footwear exports increased by 70 percent<br />

compared to 2014, while they increased by 173 percent in 2014 compared to 2013 (USAID EMPOWER Private Sector, 2015).<br />

There is considerable potential for exports. The apparel industry has the potential to substitute imports (over €200 million in<br />

annual imports) and increase exports, potentially creating nearly 10,000 new jobs (USAID, 2015). USAID estimates that exports<br />

could reach between €55 million and €65 million, contingent on re-establishing previous trade contacts.<br />

The apparel sector in <strong>Kosovo</strong> has enormous potential for exports, especially in the fields of outsourcing (cutting, sewing and<br />

packaging) and private labels (entire manufacturing of foreign brands). <strong>To</strong> date, six companies in this sector regularly export and<br />

most also manufacture for foreign brands, including Max Mara, Salvatore Ferragamo, the Bridge, Network, Baymen, Ikiler, Keep<br />

Style and HAVEP. <strong>Products</strong> exported from <strong>Kosovo</strong> to European Union countries include women's, men's and children's shoes;<br />

women's, men's and children's sweaters; blankets; work uniforms; trousers; jeans; jackets and socks.<br />

Apparel Retailers. Many small textile companies sell standardized apparel and uniforms in the local market and in the highly<br />

fragmented neighboring markets. A large number of companies involved in the bridal sub-sector export their products<br />

throughout the region. A number of fashion designers for women's apparel sell through their ateliers and showrooms in <strong>Kosovo</strong>'s<br />

major cities. Some of these designers have been successful outside of <strong>Kosovo</strong> as well. This segment of the market displays<br />

considerable growth potential, including the potential demand for “cutting, sewing and packaging” operations in <strong>Kosovo</strong>.<br />

<strong>Kosovo</strong> intends to generate 25 percent of its total electric power consumption through renewable energy sources. The focus of the USAID<br />

EMPOWER Private Sector project in the energy sector includes (i) producers of renewable energy sources, including biomass and solar energy; (ii)<br />

manufacturers of building materials and energy-efficient elements; and (iii) recyclers. According to an assessment of private-sector energy clusters<br />

carried out by the USAID EMPOWER Private Sector project, the overall market for the aforementioned focal points in 2016 was €104 million: €32<br />

million (31 percent) was domestically produced, while €72 million (69 percent) was imported.<br />

Biomass has significant opportunities to replace imports, with increased domestic production and job creation. The overall market value of the<br />

wood biomass cluster (stoves/boilers, briquette and pellet) for 2017 was €30 million, of which €18.5 million was imported and €11.2 million was<br />

produced domestically. The total value of pellets, including imports and those domestically produced, increased from €2.46 million in 2014 to €18.76<br />

million in 2017—an increase of more than 660 percent (USAID EMPOWER Private Sector, 2018). The increase in pellet consumption during this<br />

period, which amounted to 100,000 tons, highlights <strong>Kosovo</strong> as the fastest-growing market for pellets in Europe. In 2017, a local biomass producer<br />

was certified with the ENPlus Standard, an international recognition of high-quality wood biomass products.<br />

There is increased demand for energy-efficient products. With regard to energy efficiency in <strong>Kosovo</strong>, the key actors include manufacturers of<br />

insulation materials, as well as manufacturers of thermal-technical equipment focused on heating-cooling and ventilation. The total market value of<br />

energy efficiency clusters (paints, lacquers, facades, fiberglass mesh and Styrofoam) for 2016 was €61.8 million, of which €40.8 million was<br />

imported and €21 million was produced domestically. The import of paints, lacquers and facades has steadily increased over time, including a 7.8<br />

percent increase in 2016 compared to 2015. Given the value of imports at €33.16 million for these products in 2016, there is a good market<br />

opportunity to substitute imports with local products. On the contrary, the domestic production of Styrofoam for 2016 covered 81 percent of the<br />

market at €10.73 million out of a total market value of €13.12 million (USAID EMPOWER Private Sector, 2018).<br />

With an average of 285 sunny days and over 2,000 hours of sun per year, <strong>Kosovo</strong> has great solar energy potential (PV Magazine International,<br />

2017)—even higher than that of Germany. As one of the most abundant sources of renewable energy, solar power is a promising source for <strong>Kosovo</strong><br />

too, as highlighted by the establishment of the country's first solar panel manufacturer and the formation of a number of solar panel installation<br />

companies. More than 20,100 photovoltaic (PV) solar panels were produced locally in 2016 and 2017. In 2017, local production of PV solar panels<br />

increased by 923 percent, amounting to €2.16 million in value or 72 percent of the total market. PV installations have also increased substantially:<br />

2.454 MW were installed in 2017 compared to 0.236 MW installed in 2014. <strong>To</strong>tal capacity installed between 2014 and 2017 is 4.52 MW, suggesting an<br />

overall increase in demand for PV installations (USAID EMPOWER Private Sector, 2018). In addition, companies are currently installing 32.4 MW of<br />

wind power facilities in <strong>Kosovo</strong>, which will be located in wind park “KITKA,” in addition to 1.35 MW already installed in Golesh.<br />

Recycling. Approximately 580,000 tons of waste (0.9 kg/day, per capita) are generated in <strong>Kosovo</strong>, of which 72 percent (420,000 tons) is collected.<br />

More than 85 percent of the collected waste is sent to landfills (<strong>Kosovo</strong> Environmental Protection Agency, 2018). In 2017, 700 tons of flat glass waste<br />

were recycled by a company that produces glass mosaic tiles. The total market for glass mosaic tiles steadily increased between 2014 and 2016, with<br />

an overall value of €442,000 in 2016. More than 63 percent of this was produced domestically. Granules and regranules produced from the plastic<br />

recycling process had a total market value of €21.30 million in 2016, of which 11.5 percent was domestically produced. This is compared to 2014's<br />

value of €17.05 million, of which only 10 percent was domestically produced (USAID Empower Private Sector, 2018).<br />

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY<br />

The ICT sector in <strong>Kosovo</strong> has grown steadily in recent years. There are close to 200 active ICT companies with about 2,000<br />

employees (USAID, 2015). Small- and medium-sized enterprises mainly develop software products and provide software<br />

services. Other businesses provide products or services related to telecommunications, programming, software and mobile<br />

testing, advertising, system architecture, databases, maintenance and support, application development and call center services,<br />

among other ICT activities.<br />

The ICT sector primarily targets the domestic sector, with significant impact on foreign markets also. The ICT sector provides<br />

services to the domestic sector, including to government, finance and telecommunications clients. Several major domestic<br />

sectors, including manufacturing, transportation, mobile communications, education and health care companies, are increasing<br />

their demand for ICT solutions and software for enterprise resource management and web design.<br />

Successful cases of ICT service exports are abundant. More than 65 percent of companies in the ICT sector in <strong>Kosovo</strong> cater to<br />

international clients (<strong>Kosovo</strong> Ministry of Trade and Industry, 2013). The main competitive advantages <strong>Kosovo</strong> ICT companies have<br />

in international markets are price, quality and technical know-how. <strong>Kosovo</strong> ICT companies now export software development<br />

services, including subcontracting business processes. <strong>Export</strong> markets include Germany, Switzerland and Austria.<br />

There are significant growth opportunities in the ICT sector. ICT costs per capita in <strong>Kosovo</strong> are estimated to be only half of the<br />

regional average. <strong>Kosovo</strong>'s large youth population and generally strong English language skills are considered to be important<br />

factors in this sector's growth. Diaspora links also enable the expansion of market linkages in foreign markets. There is a possibility<br />

to improve cooperation between businesses and ICT educational programs to ensure the necessary skills.<br />

There is growing demand from European Union buyers for subcontracted business processes, software development and<br />

database management. There is also growing demand for the development of software applications. Existing ICT companies are<br />

already developing applications for smartphones and tablets, including web design. There are also opportunities to export<br />

communications products and services to the entertainment and media industries, including film and other.<br />

FOOD AND BEVERAGE PROCESSING<br />

The food sector in <strong>Kosovo</strong> has made significant improvements in recent years. The food processing and packaging sector primarily<br />

supplies the domestic market. Significant substitution of imports has occurred in recent years, partly due to the establishment of a number<br />

of strong domestic brands. Likewise, there is an increase in demand from domestic retailers for processed and packaged meat, dairy and<br />

vegetable products.<br />

Progress in the food sector is evident in the food-processing industry. Worth mentioning are processed fruit and vegetable products,<br />

fruit juices and smoothies, pasteurized products and frozen vegetables. These products are sold in the domestic market and are<br />

significantly affecting the substitution of imports, while also increasing GDP.<br />

There are opportunities to expand sales through business links established by local Kosovars with food processors and retail chains in<br />

Western Europe, particularly in Switzerland and Germany. The best example of this is food processors' response to the demand for addedvalue<br />

milk products.<br />

Primary agricultural production has increased, with room for further growth. Fruit exports increased from €500,000 in 2010 to €1.6<br />

million in 2014. Based on sector estimates, <strong>Kosovo</strong> possesses great capacity for future growth in the cultivation of forest fruits, non-wood<br />

food products, medicinal and aromatic herbs and wine (<strong>Kosovo</strong> Investment and Enterprise Support Agency, 2015; USAID, 2015).<br />

Forest fruits, non-wood products and aromatic and medicinal plants. Active market players in this segment point to the expansion of<br />

sales opportunities in domestic and export markets for these products, especially raspberries (Germany), mushrooms (Italy) and<br />

medicinal and aromatic plants. Domestic food processing companies are increasingly obtaining quality standards and safety<br />

certifications.<br />

There is growth potential especially for horticulture, livestock, dairy products, non-wood products and grapes. It is estimated that<br />

increasing per capita consumption in local and regional markets for such products is likely to create continued business opportunities in<br />

the coming years.<br />

The vegetable and grain sectors have the greatest potential for agricultural growth. According to a number of studies, 105 crops are<br />

positioned for significant growth in <strong>Kosovo</strong> (<strong>Kosovo</strong> Investment and Enterprise Support Agency, 2015). Ten major agricultural crops<br />

(including fruits and vegetables) can be cultivated based on different assessment factors (<strong>Kosovo</strong> Investment and Enterprise Support<br />

Agency, 2015).<br />

<strong>Kosovo</strong> possesses the ideal conditions for grape cultivation for wine. <strong>Kosovo</strong> is known for its considerable acreage under vineyards,<br />

especially in its production of Amselfelder wine for sale in Germany. It is estimated that <strong>Kosovo</strong> has more than 200 sunny days per year.<br />

These climatic conditions, which help ripen grapes, are also present in some of the most well-known wine-producing regions in the world<br />

(<strong>Kosovo</strong> Investment and Enterprise Support Agency, 2015). Such advantages create very suitable conditions for quality wine production<br />

in <strong>Kosovo</strong>.<br />

As raspberries have become increasingly popular, Agroprodukt Commerce has simultaneously enhanced its<br />

capacity and work technology, including investing in cooling rooms to increase capacity to more than 30 tons per<br />

day. <strong>To</strong> increase daily processing capacity, in 2015 Agroprodukt Commerce invested in the most up-to-date<br />

Albanian Diaspora Business Network. The company's main goal is <strong>Kosovo</strong>'s economic development through the<br />

export of <strong>Kosovo</strong> products to the Albanian diaspora all over the world.<br />

the quality to export their products, but have problems with certification and other necessary export documents.<br />

With support from Albex, companies can increase their exports, resulting in increased production demand, more<br />

workers hired in manufacturing companies, and reduced unemployment in the country.<br />

In addition to exporting <strong>Kosovo</strong> products, Albex offers support services to companies focusing on ICT, accounting,<br />

marketing, architecture, and printing. Albex plays the role of guarantor between <strong>Kosovo</strong> and international<br />

manufacturing and service companies, ensuring the quality of products and services from both parties and<br />
