The surprise of the increase in prices in Albania is that not only the prices of imports increase, but also the prices of agricultural products produced in the country.
For example, from the markets of Lushnja to Tirana, they double.
This price increase, which in many cases is abusive and artificial, is affecting inflation. vegetables have risen in price by 17% over the past two months. The same trend for fruits.
Although out of season, broccoli, spinach, cabbage, salads, they too are selling more expensively. The traders of Lushnja say not without anger, that they see their products sold in Tirana at very expensive prices. For example, the cucumber in 100 kilometers, triples from Lushnja to the capital.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Albania is a champion for vegetable production in the region. But, in our country, agricultural products are taxed more, due to the VAT scheme, while agricultural products are cheaper than imports.
Albania received from other countries in 2021 almost 130 billion ALL of food products, for which the government has no control over the price. In these conditions the eyes must be turned from domestic production. Measures must be taken urgently so that the artificial price increase does not hit citizens and farmers as traders get rich.
