Farmers complain about the price of potatoes: It is very cheap

In the wholesale market, the potato is sold from 35 to 40 ALL, while for the consumer the price goes up to 80 ALL in the retail market.

It is the farmers who complain that their products are going to waste and moreover they are being traded very cheaply.

"30 lek is taken there, 35-40 is sold at most. It costs 80 Lek in the store, the stores are abused, the consumers are harmed", says one of the farmers.

Despite the support schemes of subsidies in agriculture, farmers seem to find it impossible to survive in a market where imported products at cheaper prices are in front of them.
