Following these developments, the Ministry of Agriculture tried to boost production by increasing planting of various crops, since Albania has the possibility to cultivate more than 60 different crops.
The sector of fruits and vegetables is set as one of the priorities in agriculture sector which aims the support of agricultural production. Albania has very favorable climate conditions, geographic location and a long tradition in cultivating different crops.
