In an interview for the show Shqip në Dritare TV, Aleksandër Jorgaqi, a 92-year-old veterinarian who has lived in Corfu for years near his daughter's family, showed how the Greek island has functionally solved the connection between agriculture, livestock and tourism - a model that Albania still fails to understand.

“A market economy works in Corfu,” he says.

"Whoever produces, sells. Whoever invests, wins. There is no bureaucracy, no barriers, no hypocrisy."

According to Jorgaq, there you find all levels of consumption:

– Do you want organic meat? Yes.

– Do you want wild fish? There is.

– Do you want fresh milk or artisanal products? Yes.

– Do you want to eat cheaply? You can.

– Would you pay 3,000 euros for an elite dish? That exists too.

"The best fish on the market costs as much as a salary. But it is wild, controlled, certified. This is a choice. And everything goes forward because there is a complete production chain," said Jorgaqi.

He emphasizes that Greece has understood something that Albania still does not:

"There is no tourism without local produce. There is no restaurant without a village. There is no taste without land."

According to him, while in Albania the lands are being covered with solar panels or abandoned, in Corfu the hills are planted, the stables are functioning and foreigners buy and build there because they have security, order and profit.

"Here, the subsidy is not given to sell the land, but to use it. And people are not afraid that tomorrow they will have no one to sell to."

Jorgaqi calls for Albania not to invent abstract models, but to learn from what is in front of it, just a few miles away:

"We have the same climate, the same hills, the same water. But they have vision. We only have promises."
