In a neighborhood market, no matter how small it is, consumers face products that are not local and that stand alongside "Made in Albania" products.

Although we are an agricultural country and exports during 2022 reached over 55 billion ALL, the Albanian consumer market still has enough space for imported products, which unfortunately in many cases, according to traders, dominate the demand due to the higher quality good.

Thus, if you are going to do the usual shopping of the day and ask about the origin of the products, the sellers usually give you two alternatives, such as the local orange or the Greek orange, which comes from Crete. Korçe apples or Greek apples, which find considerable space in markets.

Country quince, or quince which comes from Turkey. Kiwi and eggplant are imported from Greece, tomatoes come mainly from Italy, and so do grapes. Meanwhile, according to traders, there is still local seasonal production, such as mainly salads, carrots, cabbages, which dominate the market and are not imported.

According to sellers, the end of January is the moment when there is more shortage of domestic production, thus giving an advantage to products coming from abroad. This happens mainly because a significant part of the seasonal production is exported and the second reason is insufficient refrigeration capacity to store products produced in the summer season and to market them during the winter./ SCAN
