The cur­rent olive har­vest in Albania has reached record num­bers. Still, local pro­duc­ers must cope with uncer­tain export oppor­tu­ni­ties and low prod­uct prices. The Ministry of Agriculture esti­mates the cur­rent cam­paign could end well above expec­ta­tions, with around 25 thou­sand tons of olive oil. Experts say the pro­duc­tion growth results from good cli­mate con­di­tions and long-stand­ing invest­ments to expand pro­duc­tion. According to International Olive Council (IOC) data, Albania pro­duced 11.5 thou­sand tons in the 2021/2022 sea­son. If con­firmed, the lat­est harvest’s results would be much higher than any pre­vi­ous cam­paign’s.
