The spread of functional food-dairies in the internal market of the Republic of Kosovo, is an indicator that reflects the customers’ need for consuming these products. This study shows the data of the period from 2013 until 2017 for supplies of these functional foods such as dairies including: kefir, probiotic yoghurts, and goat’s milk among many others. For the five years period, the data have been collected from the electronic cards of supplying and selling dairies, by selecting only the products that came from the three main distributors that cover the whole internal market, respectively those business operators that furnish the markets in Kosovo.
