The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, during a meeting with the residents of Baldushk, declared that the government has abandoned agriculture.
"Around 500 thousand Albanians are employed in the rural area and this area provides about 19% of the country's total production. In this regard, no sector is more important than the agricultural sector in Albania. In addition, it is true that Albania has little land, this is well-known. But Albania has little land if we take into account the plain, the coastal lowland and the plain. But if we take into account that the land of Albania in its entire territory is a very fertile land, it is a land completely full of water, it is a land that produces and only ignoring it has caused endless land surfaces to emerge. There is no land more fertile than the land of this country," said Berisha, writes A2.
"So, for us, the Agriculture sector and Agriculture. As you can see, this government has completely forgotten the word agriculture, because it does not mention it at all, it is a very big priority. Agriculture during these years suffered a real reversal. Its reversal came because the government, instead of increasing subsidies for farmers from year to year. Every country that thinks and wants to develop agriculture, every country without exception, subsidizes the farmer, protects the farmer, gives him the opportunity to succeed in his work. But, this did not happen", Berisha added. (A2 Televizion)
