Before the cold days that gripped the country, an unusual heat wave passed, bringing temperatures up to 29 degrees. This has brought an unforeseen anomaly for strawberry farmers in the Myzeqe area, who are currently in a difficult situation in terms of production, quality and, of course, price, writes A2 CNN.
"This is the second year in a row that we have been harmed by weather conditions," "The warm winds that blew two or three days ago damaged our strawberry production. The market is not there for this super production that came out and we are in difficult conditions," a farmer tells A2 CNN. "The price today is 120 lek per kilogram, while it was 300 lek per kilogram."
Farmers say that setting up strawberry processing lines would be a solution and one more guarantee for them that their products will not go to waste, even in such cases. (A2 Televizion)
