Rahovec farmers face crop losses due to low prices
Farmers in the Rahovec region, specifically in the village of Malësia e Vogël, are facing significant economic losses despite high crop yields. Avdi Krasniqi, a farmer with over 30 years of experience, reports that watermelons are rotting in the fields because they cannot be sold due to a lack of market demand and low prices.
Watermelon prices have reportedly plummeted to between 8 and 10 cents per kilogram. Additionally, farmers are facing uncertainty regarding pepper sales, with prices at collection points fluctuating between 30 and 60 cents. The lack of buyers and difficulties with collection points are causing widespread concern among local agricultural producers.
