The village of Godolesh in Elbasan, or as it is otherwise known the cherry village produces approximately 700 tons of cherries per year. Farmers say they are blessed that this land produces quality produce, but the problem remains the road infrastructure which makes it difficult for cherries to enter the market.
The center of the village at noon turns into a market, for hours farmers wait for buyers from Tirana, who according to them value the farmer’s sweat very cheaply.
“Traders have fallen to the ground, today we are selling it for 700 lek. not costs not covered by this price, but nothing. Price a couple of days was fine then finally. 60-70 kilograms, tell me, is it worth it to me? ”Said the Farmers.
Ilmi Ademi, and Xhemal Vaska both together have a total of 1000 cherry roots. Behind the market the biggest problem for farmers remains finding agricultural workers. The 67-year-olds say they are too old to climb trees and pick cherries.
“The cherry is very big, the production is very high, the market is not moving. It is not forgotten that there is no labor force, that the youth has moved and emigrated. The alarm is that the cherry will remain on the tree. “– said farmer Ilmi Ademi.
“I can have over 600 roots and it is in danger of rotting. “We have no people to pick them up.”– said farmer Xhemal Vaska.
For 45 kilometers of road made by Godolesh cherry to come to Tirana, its price increases by 100 lek per kilogram. The high amount of production did not bring cheap cherries to the consumer because the cherries that were supposed to be on the market due to lack of manpower were left in the trees.
