The National Food Authority launched an operation in Lushnje, by order
of the Minister of Agriculture. This operation aims to calm Albanian
citizens regarding the products they consume.
NFA representatives took samples of fresh vegetables, mainly cucumbers, not only in the wholesale market, but also in the Goricaj farmer greenhouses.
The samples will be tested at the Institution of Veterinarian and Food Safety in Tirana for the presence of hormones, insecticides and environmental polluters.
“All regional labs will have the necessary appliances for making these tests. We started this action today and we will go to every farm and every greenhouse”, declared the NFA director, Frederik Cuo.
Farmers want these inspections to be made in every greenhouse, in order to punish only abusers, not everyone.
