Farmers in Berat: Cherries are left on the trees because there are no workers!

Drobonik is the village in Berat, which after 1967 became the most famous cherry culture production village.

There are over 50 thousand cherry trees in this area and every family in this village has over 300 cherry tree roots.

The systemization of the road has somewhat facilitated the trade of this crop for the residents of the area, but what penalizes them are the high prices and poor quality of fertilizers and pesticides.

The village, although it is picturesquely beautiful, otherwise called the "balcony of Berat", is a village abandoned by young people and in this season, which also coincides with cherry picking, in the plantations you see only people over 50 years old and the ages of the third.

Since there is no labor force, a good part of the cherry production remains on the trees, without being picked.

The inhabitants of the village of Drobonik say that this year the production has been very good, but the workforce is lacking and they themselves harvest as much as they can, but a good part of the production remains on the trees.

Residents claim that they sell it at a very low wholesale price and that it is the traders who then retail it at a very high price.

They claim that since they make a loss, they are forced to go down to the city every day to sell it themselves in the village market.

Complaining that they have no real market where they can sell their produce, they complain about the high prices of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, which - according to them - are out of date and are harming not only the cherry trees but also the vineyards with grapes.

The cherry plantations in the village of Drobonik were built in 1967 and after the 90s each family of this village appropriated based on the number of persons. These families, from 1990 until today, live with the income they receive from cherry, olive and vineyard crops.

Although the infrastructure towards the village is regular and they get their produce where they harvest it, these farmers have an appeal to the relevant ministry to look at the prices of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, as not only the prices but also their quality are being abused.
