Earlier Report Observations
Albania's market for fresh or chilled beans demonstrated a clear upward trajectory from 2018 to 2023, with the total volume expanding from 11,943 t to 14,599 t. This growth was punctuated by a temporary contraction in 2020, followed by robust recoveries that saw the market size increase by over 10% in both 2021 and 2023.
The market's structure was initially shaped by the agricultural landscape, where farms larger than 2 hectares were identified as having significant production and market potential, in contrast to smaller, less viable units under 1 hectare. This differentiation in farm size laid a foundation for scalable output in the bean sector.
Following the 2020 dip, the market exhibited resilience with consistent growth, culminating in a substantial rise to nearly 14,600 t by 2023. The period highlighted the sector's capacity for expansion despite underlying structural characteristics in Albanian agriculture.
