Spring comes with produce, but farmers have invested a lot of hard work, which often goes unrewarded.

Top Channel visited the Dervishi greenhouse in Peze, Helmes, part of the Ndroq Administration.

Wherever you go, you can tell that farmers are facing losses each day.

“We were forced to throw our lettuce away. You can sell it with 100 ALL/kg, but the market spot only costs 200, and no one asks how much you invested for the seed, for the fertilizers, fuel, etc”, says Fatbardha Dervishi, a local farmer.

Her family has many members, but agriculture and greenhouses are not enough to feed them. They have to travel to the city through a very bad road, and then try to sell them.
