Olive farmers, even though they cultivate one of the most sought-after crops, are in difficulty and unsupported. The lack of infrastructure in the plots has meant that they do not have the opportunity to reduce their production. While the lack of labor has caused many plots to remain unharvested.
The lack of real policies in agriculture have caused farmers, even though they have tried to plant and expand their production, in the end they encounter many difficulties that only discuss the costs of expenses since it is a luxury to think about profit.
In such a situation are the farmers who cultivate the olive. The south of the country is among the famous areas for olives and the oil produced from them. Although years ago state institutions directed farmers towards planting olives, this campaign was not accompanied by any supporting investment.
Today, olive farmers in various areas of the south from Kanina to Vlora to the municipality of Memaliaj suffer for roads to be able to transport their production.
Depopulation is another problem of olive farmers, and in many areas, those who cannot afford it, their families have left whole plots of olives unharvested.
Even those who have had the opportunity to harvest the olive plantations and produce the oil, declare that the price has increased significantly compared to a year ago and doubt whether the purchasing power of the population will bear this price. (A2 Televizion)
