For March 8, Women's Day, the staff of girls and women of the National Food Authority and the Minister of Agriculture, Frida Krifca, donated 18 trees of different types - olives, mimosa, cypress, photinia, lejlander - to the city of Tirana. The mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, also joined the planting action, who invited other citizens to plant trees for their holidays.

"The women and girls of Tirana not only support our families even in the difficult days of the earthquake and the pandemic, they not only ensure that they are the most vital, disciplined and productive part of our administrations, both in the municipality and in the government, but are also extremely active in the private sector, as leaders. Today we are at about 990 thousand trees and in days' work, I believe we have reached the figure of 1 million planted trees. Of course, our ambition is to reach 2 million trees planted in Tirana by 2030", said Veliaj.

Of course, these will be the two largest parks and of course the Farka park enables us to Unit 1 and Unit 2, Mulleti, Farka, Shkoza, Dajti, to 'discharge' there and reduce the flow that we have here in the Lake park. of Tirana", explained Veliaj.
