Earlier Report Observations

The maize market in Albania demonstrated relative stability in the early part of the period from 2018 to 2021, with total volume gradually expanding from 476 thousand tons to 484 thousand tons. This growth was underpinned by domestic production, which increased from 391 thousand tons to 414 thousand tons over those years, complemented by significant annual imports ranging from 69 to 89 thousand tons.

A pronounced shift occurred in 2022 when the market volume contracted sharply to 401 thousand tons. This decline coincided with imports falling to zero, while domestic production also decreased to 401 thousand tons. The market regained most of its lost volume in 2023, reaching 475 thousand tons, driven by a recovery in production to 409 thousand tons and the return of imports at 66 thousand tons.

Overall, the period from 2018 to 2023 was marked by volatility in import flows, which became the primary determinant of total market size, while domestic output showed a modest net increase despite annual variations.
