Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh grapes in Albania saw steady growth from 189.4 thousand tons in 2018 to 218.1 thousand tons in 2022. This expansion was underpinned by a large base of over 300 000 farmers and was further supported by substantial government and EU financial aid, notably through the IPARD program and National Scheme worth around $35 million in 2020. The sector's formalization progressed with the drafting of a new Vineyard and Wine Law and the subsequent adoption of detailed labeling and product information rules under Law No. 86/2022.

After reaching its peak in 2022, the market volume contracted significantly to 183.6 thousand tons in 2023, returning to a level last observed in 2019.
