Strawberry price drops six fold, putting farmers in hardest position
06/05/2019 22:32
Despite the good crop, strawberry farmers in Kafaraj feel that this was the most difficult year, due to a drastic price drop.
The main cause was the increased area of production and the lower export.
Vladimir Hamataj and his two brothers have planted 2.2 hectares of strawberries, with a daily production of 2.5 tons.
The absence of a proper market has forced them to sell it with 45 ALL per kg. Last year it was 300.
Farmers say that the production has a high cost, and the sudden price drop forces them to stop the cultivation of the culture.
