“If the situation continues with these prices, I will keep them until September-October, then I will remove them. They hurt me because this is my life. Everything I had I threw here. I left home, family and friends to work here. And there comes a day when you will leave him and you will abandon him “, said the farmer, Syrja Metushi, in tears.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Syrja Metushi, is 45 years old and has connected her life with agriculture and livestock. 20 years ago he returned from emigration and built a farm.<\/p>\n
In the beginning this stable had 2 cows, while today there are 50 heads. He says this is not the best year for farmers raising livestock, as the price of livestock feed has doubled.<\/p>\n
“Everything unbearable has gone. Starting with oil, barley, corn and chemical fertilizers that have gone into the stratosphere<\/em>“, Said Syrja Metushi.<\/p>\n Although the costs of milk production have increased, the collection points do not buy a liter of milk for more than 55 lek without VAT.<\/p>\n Until a year ago, Syrja from the sale of milk managed to earn from 5-10 thousand lek per day, while today the farmer fails to cover the costs of the stable.<\/p>\n Rising prices of agricultural inputs and seeds have put the farmer from Bucova in Fier in economic difficulty.<\/p>\n He says this three-month-old cow no longer brings him any profit. The daily expenses of a cow reach the value of 1000 lek, while from the sale of milk produced by the cow he manages to provide approximately 800 lek per day.<\/p>\n If the prices of agricultural inputs do not fall, Syrjai says his stall will be emptied.<\/p>\n ” For years we were good, we managed. After I managed to earn 100-200 lek\u00eb per day for cows. While now difficult. Our area here had 6 such stables while now I am the only one left. They all sold them because they could not get out<\/em>“, Added the breeder.<\/p>\n Expensive livestock feed and the cheap price of milk have left only one large stable in the village, while others have been emptied.<\/p>\n Hoping that this situation will change, he continues to serve the cows with the same dedication as on the first day.<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n top channel
