Kosovo Vineyard Cadastre and Wine Quality Control System (SVV v.1.3)

SVV v.1.3 is Kosovo’s vineyard cadastre and wine-quality control information system. The platform maintains a georeferenced register of vineyard parcels for varieties and owners and supports regulatory workflows, including vintage declarations and requests to place wines on the market, including internal market, export and import. The system also supports administrative controls and quality assurance through laboratory sample analysis and organoleptic evaluation.

• Desktop/web-based application
• GIS

SVV v.1.3 is implemented as a GIS-enabled application. The system was developed by Geo & Land and integrates digital vineyard maps and a vineyard database. Spatial data are maintained in a GeoServer/PostGIS environment and integrated into the KaVeKo application, alongside modules for vintage declarations, market-placement requests, administrative checks, laboratory analysis records and organoleptic assessment.

• Large size farms
• Medium size farms
• Smallholder farmers
• Public sector
• Private sector

Primary users and beneficiaries include public administration officers responsible for the vineyard register, market authorisations and controls and licensed wine-producing companies that use the system to submit production-related declarations and requests. Indirect beneficiaries include vineyard owners and the broader wine value chain, through improved traceability, compliance and transparency.

• Fully free

SVV v.1.3 functions as a public-sector information system supporting regulatory service delivery. Costs are expected to follow a government-funded model.

The intended positive outcomes include improved traceability and oversight of vineyard parcels, standardised digital submissions such as vintage declarations and market-placement requests and strengthened quality-control documentation through laboratory and organoleptic results.
