1 0 Impact and benefits for the partner country The measures to promote the cultivation and collection of medicinal and spice plants in accordance with international standards will contribute to securing and creating jobs and income opportunities in marginal regions through the sustainable use of natural resources. The knowledge transfer taking place in the implementation of the GACP guidelines guarantees that allowances will be made for environmental, social and economic aspects. The introduction of controlled collection and the cultivation of wild plants according to Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) will relieve the pressure on endangered plant stocks. These are the major prerequisites for Albania to retain its position in the long term as the main European export country. The measures for qualifying and thus professionalizing local workers, for promoting partnership in collector and cultivator initiatives as well as the incentives for longer term investments will lead to the stabilization of the professional group of collectors and agricultural workers. The creation of income opportunities and jobs is a major prerequisite for a sustainable improvement of the social situation of the people in North Albania. The improvement of the cultivation systems and production technologies will lead to rising productivity and quality and thus in the end to rising profits. Reducing production fluctuations caused by bad weather through better cultivation planning and methods will make it possible to supply buyers worldwide on a steady basis. Greater delivery reliability, better product quality and rising delivery quantities will make it possible in the long term for Albanian suppliers to exert stronger influence on delivery conditions and pricing in the export business. Speculative market conditions can thus be largely reduced. The following can already be noted as successes worth mentioning: • The independent modernization of the warehouses through the local partners • The installation of changing rooms, toilets and shower stalls for the personnel in accordance with international hygiene and safety standards • The step-by-step introduction of documentation and quality assurance systems • The signing of the statement “Production of highgrade medicinal plants in Albania at a pharmaceutical quality level” by all the participants in the training events Lessons learned The Albanian suppliers initially had reservations about the PPP project. After all, a German firm’s interests as a buyer are important. However, it was possible to dispel the mis- givings by signing an agreement in which the rights and duties of all contractual partners were laid down. Albanian circles with related expertise noted the cooperation with KRÄUTER MIX GmbH with interest. The hands-on teaching of necessary and usable skills gives the participants the opportunity to prove their competence and reliability and thus to qualify for the partnership with KRÄUTER MIX GmbH and its local partner. This qualification creates the basis for the further development and modernization of their own businesses and thus for additional, more lucrative orders. In the interest of long-term supplier relations, the company KRÄUTER MIX GmbH has made unmistakably clear that reliability is a prerequisite for lasting cooperation. In this connection, the participants in the trainings were shown how they themselves are members of a production chain that stretches from the raw materials (including upstream markets) to the end consumer. In such a value chain, each individual is responsible for having his/her contribution to the production of the end product correspond to the statutory standards and to those agreed to with the buyers.
