"Albanians pay more for food than Italians"/ Berisha: The Balkans are

The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, presented the opposition's program for the agricultural sector. During his speech, Berisha stated that Albanian citizens pay more for food than Italians or Germans, adding that it was different in 2010-2011, as agricultural and livestock production increased at that time.

"Every Albanian today buys food in the store at a higher price than an Italian, higher than a Greek, higher than a German, and dear friends, if you look at the latest INSTAT study on prices in Albania, what did it find?

"It was found that, in 2010-2011, prices in Albania, compared to prices in the EU, were decreasing because production was increasing, simply because agricultural and livestock production was increasing," Berisha said. 

Among other things, Berisha stressed that the Open Balkans is a project that will end up in the trash after putting an end to fair competition in the Balkans. 

"The Open Balkans will be thrown in the trash. The Open Balkans destroyed one of the main factors, fair competition in the Balkans.

Serbia not only has a very strong subsidy legacy, they have had an organized agricultural sector with very large investments, but Serbia as part of the Russian, former Soviet market, is a big problem for the region, therefore Albania stops any kind of Open Balkan practice which, de facto, was the economic, and not only economic, hegemony of Serbia in the region.

There is no care for the land, as such, agricultural land will absolutely not be able, except under very rigorous conditions of the law, to be touched and violated. We are the country with the least amount of land in Europe per capita. Albania is a country full of water. We will do everything to multiply the irrigated areas, but at the same time for protection, drainage, irrigation and drainage, irrigation and protection from high waters, will be a fundamental direction of ours.

We have, as is known, very little plain land, but we have fertile land everywhere. There is no land without fruit. It exists only in the minds of those who destroyed Albanian agriculture. Everywhere, this land is fertile, it is blessed.

 

We will do everything to multiply fruit trees throughout the country from south to north. Of course, I also mean vineyards here, but olive and walnut trees will be dominant, and the traditional fruit trees of the region.

Our stance on these two types, olives and walnuts, is right. These have a market, they are a guaranteed market in their entirety, and although the potential of olives can reach up to 50 million roots, walnuts can reach twice that, and we are not withdrawing from these projects. We will do everything to transform Albania with these projects," said Berisha. /CNA
