Earlier Report Observations

Albania's grape market volume grew consistently from 189.4 thousand tons in 2018 to a peak of 218.1 thousand tons in 2022. This expansion was driven by government support for viticulture through grants and subsidies to producers, coupled with a rise in tourism that increased demand for local wines and grapes. The growth rate slowed in 2022 as rising food prices and a cost-of-living crisis began to pressure household spending on non-essential foods.

Market volume contracted sharply by 15.8% to 183.7 thousand tons in 2023. The decline was primarily caused by persistent inflation and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, which reduced real consumer purchasing power for food products. Concurrently, consumer confidence was weakened by food safety incidents and scandals related to agricultural products, further dampening demand.
