Beekeepers explode against Frida Krifca: Foreign honey is harming local honey, we are being hit by dishonesty, goods from abroad always compete

Imported honey, with no quality and lower price, is harming local producers. They appeal to the state for a stronger policy regarding the certification of honey, and in this way local organic honey will have priority. 10 years ago Ritvan Llanaj from ?erkani i Fieri had only 4 beehives. The passion inherited from his grandfather led him to dedicate himself to raising bees and today he has 120 hives. About 500 kilograms of honey is the production in a year. Like any other sector, beekeeping is facing problems. Unfair competition and imported honey not giving preference to local production are the main problems facing this sector. "Goods from abroad always compete. Not of the right quality, only has the aroma and not the original organic honey, like we always trade it. This prevents us from increasing the number of bees. We are struck by the dishonesty in our product", said Ritvan Llanaj, farmer, during a statement for "Ora Neës". Ritvan Llanaj appeals to state institutions to intervene by favoring local production. "Unfair competition hits us both in terms of price and quality, because the state is not at the right level for quality control and registration of the product that we put on sale. It would be very necessary to certify the products, for the sake of the consumer, to find the goods he always wants", he said. Another problem that beekeepers are facing are the subsidies, which according to them are missing, making this field difficult. farmer, during a speech for "Ora Neës".
