Why did the prices of agricultural products increase? - Traders "blame" oil, but say that domestic production will lower prices

In recent days, there has been a rise in the prices of fruits and vegetables, especially some of them that are considered important on the table of Albanian families, such as tomatoes or peppers. Traders link this increase to the increase in the price of oil.
Some products are domestic, while others are imported. The question that arises is: Which ones cost the citizens the least?
Production has started in greenhouses for a few days now and local products are being sold at cheaper prices. This also reduces dependence on imports, as tomatoes brought from Greece, Turkey and Italy are mainly sold. However, traders say that prices have never been at such levels before.
According to traders, high prices have had a significant impact, as citizens are consuming less and less.
