What is happening with "Made in Albania" mandarins? - AKU blocked 3 export shipments. Citizens: We will consume less!
This year, the situation for Albanian tangerines is troubled. Three cargoes exported abroad have been returned due to pesticide residues above the permitted rates. Two of them have returned to their country of origin, one of which has already been disposed of by the farmers of the villages of Gorican in Berat and Mursi in Vlora, while the third load has been blocked in a collecting entity in Fier.
Despite this situation, in the country's markets, consumers continue to buy tangerines, believing in the freshness and quality of local production.
"We look at them, try them, they look good. We will start consuming less, but we cannot avoid it because we have it in the market." "There are many tangerines, but there are pesticides everywhere." "We took a lot, but after we heard about the pesticides, we won't take any more." Expressed some citizens when they were asked about the consumption of tangerines."
The Ministry of Agriculture, through an announcement on its website, announces that the National Food Authority has taken immediate measures to protect the local consumer.
"The General Directorate of the National Food Authority has taken immediate measures by setting up working groups for the analysis and assessment of the situation, as well as for the coordination and follow-up of procedural actions in each link of the implementation of the official control of the case."
Food security is a common challenge. We take the opportunity to draw the attention of every Albanian farmer and producer to fulfill their legal obligations, as well as to respect good work practices throughout the production chain on the farm, using only permitted products, under the supervision of professionals and respecting the time of deficiency, to guarantee safe local production for the Albanian consumer and international markets."
Exports of fruits and vegetables have had an increase in quantity compared to last year. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, about 259.2 thousand have been exported so far.
