Albanian consumers are paying 2 times more for beans or as it is called the bread of the poor.

In Korça this year, farmers produced fewer beans, which has been associated with a significant increase in the selling price.

In the market, a kilogram of beans costs from 450 to 600 lek, a value that had never been reached before, and according to the farmers, this happened because they did not even get half of the production they had anticipated as a result of the unstable weather at the beginning of summer. which damaged the plants in the hatching stage and then extreme heat and drought.

Beans are one of the foods that Albanians do not part with from their table, but the price is worrying for them, so they say they will consume less

The region of Korça calculates every year 2443 ha planted with beans and about 2700 tons of production per year, but in the market the domestic production is being competed by the imported one.

Consumers are replacing the local bean with the one that comes from Egypt and costs 200 lek per kilogram or the Turkish one that is sold at 300 lek per kilogram./ tch
