The area of Dumre is known for the production of quality olive oil. Although the olive harvest is coming to an end, farmers are complaining more and more every day about the low selling price, lack of labor and lack of market.
" It's not worth it, it's weak, with 6,000 lek per kg that the factory takes. So for us as a farmer it is not too much. "
" What can I do? I'm sorry, the children have fled to emigration and we are forced to hire workers, and I'll bring them back. There is no olive oil at all, they see oil with 7 thousand, 8 thousand, 11 thousand, the one with 6 thousand lek is going. It hurts us that we have collected them, we have sweated, yes, I have to go to go. "
Even the olive processors in the factories raise concerns about the price. According to them, the price of 7,000 lek per liter is being tried to decrease even more by the importers. This makes the price not worth the effort.
" With 700 lek per liter, but as far as we can see, the importers who come and buy olive oil in Albania, try to reduce the price. And the farmers, as well as myself, do not agree with them, since the costs of production and processing are very high. "
In total, Belshi has about 1.2 million olive roots, and despite the complaints of olive growers, collectors and processors, this year's season is considered good. The area of Dumre exports olive oil to several EU countries thanks to the excellent quality of this product.
