Lushnje farmers are facing consequences of a bad image they gave to
themselves by using hormonal stimulants for their vegetables.
Green house products are already in markets, but prices have dropped with more than 50%, since there are no buyers. Cucumber prices dropped to 70 ALL from 200 ALL that it used to be.
Consumers are hesitant to use them, due to the fear of hormonal growth. This has damaged farmers, who are asking the construction of a certification lab, saying that their products are biological.
Agricultural specialists say that stimulants have been used according to the law.
Without a lab, experts make inspections on terrain and that’s where they create their conclusions.
