Montenegrin fashion designer female shepherd awarded.

Jasmina Šutkovic, a 46-year-old of Montenegrin descent, was awarded by the Bayramiç Agricultural Chamber on the occasion of World Women Farmers’ Day, after she got tired of metropolitan life while working as a fashion designer in Istanbul and moved to Yiğitler village in Bayramiç district, located on the northern slopes of Kazdağları, where she runs a livestock business with nearly 100 small livestock.

Jasmina Šutkovic, who was originally a fashion designer in Istanbul, moved to Yiğitler village in Bayramiç district eight years ago when she got bored of metropolitan life. Without any knowledge of agriculture and livestock, Jasmina Šutkovic bought 10 merino sheep eight years ago and started herding. She gained information from the villagers about agriculture and livestock, and in 8 years, she became the owner of nearly 100 small livestock. Having purchased several plots of land from the village and also starting to rent fields outside of the lands she bought, Jasmina Šutkovic learned to grow barley, oats, and wheat for her animals. Due to her successful farming life, she was awarded by the Bayramiç Agricultural Chamber on World Women Farmers’ Day. Officials from the Bayramiç Agricultural Chamber and Chamber President Mesut Şen visited Yiğitler village in Bayramiç to present a plaque to Jasmina Šutkovic.

Mesut Şen congratulated Šutkovic for her contributions to Bayramiç’s agriculture and livestock and celebrated World Women Farmers’ Day.

Expressing her happiness for receiving the award, Jasmina Šutkovic said, “I am grateful to the Bayramiç Agricultural Chamber for recognizing me with such an award. I thank them for the award they have given. I also respectfully commemorate women farmers around the world.”
