Decreasing the number of cows, Dervishi: We will only encounter livestock and

The number of cattle in our country is decreasing, as there is a risk that we will no longer have cows in Albania.

Journalist Lutfi Dervishi has ironically commented on Facebook that at this rate, we will only encounter livestock and agriculture in the verses of the poet Naim Frashëri.

 "At this rate, we will only encounter livestock and agriculture in Naim's verses...

"And we will only hear the bleating of the lamb in music videos ," Dervishi ironically says.

Official INSTAT data on the number of dairy cows in Albania during 2014–2024 show a dramatic decline in all regions of the country by over 35%.

At the same time, Albania is experiencing one of the highest levels of emigration in Europe, especially in rural and mountainous areas. These two phenomena are not separate; on the contrary, they are directly linked.

Fier is and remains the region with the largest number of dairy cows, although the decline is significant, from over 50 thousand heads in 2014 to around 34,800 in 2024. Compared to 2023, the number of cows in this region increased by 0.5% due to greater investments in farms.
