CNVP Albania is implementing LED project funded by the Swedish Embassy in four regions on Albania including Elbasan region, where the focus is been put at Gramsh Municipality as one of the focus areas with high potential of Maps cultivated and wild. 
 On 24 of October was organized a training introducing contract farming as a tool for regulating relationships between the farmers and the business involved with MAP sector. About 30 farmers, had the opportunity to discuss in details all the elements that a contract farming document contains as well as were able to clarify ways of collaboration with local businesses in Gramsh. The main concern the farmers raise is the price change of Lavandula, market and as well as storing of the products. The contract farming is seen as a good way to regulate some of the concerns farmers had in relation to the selling of Lavandula. 
 CNVP is introducing “Contract Farming” as a powerful tool for mutual beneficial relations between businesses and farmers dealing with MAPs, through LED project. MAP businesses depend on farmers to secure the required quality and quantity of products whereas farmers depend on businesses to sell their product for a fair price.
 Contract farming involves an agreement between the producer and the buyer on terms and conditions for the production and marketing of MAPs products usually, including the price to be paid, quantity and quality demanded, delivery dates, and sometimes detailed information on inputs and production methods.
