Berisha meets with medicinal plant producers: We will negotiate with the US

The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, pledged today to medicinal plant producers that upon his coming to power, he will negotiate with the US government for zero tariffs.

Berisha said that they will do everything with grants for each production unit, and you will receive it with simple documentation, and not on the basis of bureaucracy.

Berisha: Dear representatives of one of the most important sectors of what I will call natural Albania, the medicinal plants sector of the country.
First of all, I would like to warmly greet you and all the farmers, collectors, processors, exporters of medicinal plants, essential oils of Albania.
I express my greatest appreciation for the work you do, the very valuable contribution you make to the economy of this country.
Albania is perhaps, per square kilometer, the richest country that can exist in its vegetation, in its biodiversity.
Albania has a very great wealth in essential oils, medicinal and aromatic plants, which have an inexhaustible, guaranteed market and which has not had the proper support from the state.
It has been ignored in one way or another.
In addition, this sector, which is an export sector, has also suffered a very heavy blow from the narcoeuro in recent years.
Because you are an export sector and of course the transactions are in dollars and euros.
The creation of the narco-euro, its devaluation by the euro of poisonous plants, drugs, has caused hundreds and hundreds of export enterprises to go bankrupt and tens of thousands of Albanians to lose their jobs.
In our project for a Greater Albania, we consider the agricultural sector a sector of primary importance for the realization of this project.
And we are committed to a complete overthrow of the current system, of this system's attitude towards agriculture, livestock, aromatic plants, etc.
We will double the budget for this sector and quadruple or quintuple the subsidy for farmers.
We will subsidize every hectare planted, every head of livestock and every seedling planted.
For you as a special sector, we will subsidize your every effort for cultivation, collection, assembly, processing and export.
I guarantee that you will be a sector with absolute priority.
This is 100 percent consistent with our philosophy Made in Albania, Albanian production.
Because we consider this Made in Albania to be Archimedes' lever to increase salaries, to increase pensions, to enrich families, to increase production, to consolidate the economy as a productive economy.
We declare production as the leader of our economy.
Because Albania has extraordinary production capabilities and production has been falling for several years.
Huge shortages have been created in the workforce. Go away, said this narco-dictator, who, as you have heard, has not Albanianized the word sage once, but has Albanianized the word cannabis hundreds of thousands of times. His soul has remained in the black drug, even though drugs are destruction, they are ruin, drugs take lives, drugs destroy health, destroy families, destroy nations.
And since he came to power, he has not spoken once about olives, vineyards, apples, walnuts, chestnuts, medicinal plants, aromatic plants.
The only aromatic plant for the narcodictator is drugs.
And whoever wants to know the other, must judge him by his vocabulary, by what he says.
His mouth and soul cannot utter any other word than cannabis, at a time when we have wonderful plants.
Our most famous products are aromatic and essential oil plants, the most popular, the most preferred in international markets.
This means that we will attach great importance to this sector.
The entire process will be heavily subsidized, up to export.
Great logistical facilities will be created for the collection of these plants.
Great facilities will be created for the industry of their processing in the country.
