Food prices on the market rise

On the green market in the capital, prices of local agricultural products have been markedly raised these days. One kilogram of pepper is being sold up to 1.30 euros.

Consumers complain that these high and affordable prices for many citizens.

On the other hand, businessmen said price hikes have affected the lack of vegetables this year and demand by buyers.

Sheriff Vrella, a pensioner who was on the market for vegetable supply, says their prices are not affordable.

Vrella adds that prices are high, and according to the pension she receives a month, she finds it difficult to survive.

For raising vegetable prices, consumer Ekrem Ismajli has blamed state institutions.

According to him, the state is allowing traders to raise prices as they please.

This buyer from Pristina has also said that lack of imports of vegetables also enables farmers to raise prices.

Meanwhile, vegetable retailer Becir Avdiu also said that demand by consumers to buy vegetables is too large, while adding that they have many complaints about their price.

And farmer Enver Konjuhi, who is on the market to sell his agricultural products, said the price is set on consumer basis, while stressing that subsidies are helping him a lot.

Retailer Becir Avdiu said vegetable producers lack these products from recent crops, and therefore the price of vegetables has been raised.

Even in the latest report by the Kosovo Statistics Agency published two days ago, the price of vegetables has been said to have raised 28 percent, as well as those for trees 11. Four percent. / KP
