Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the fresh spinach market in Albania expanded steadily, with market volume rising from 20 552 t to 26 261 t. This growth was driven by increasing domestic production, as imports remained negligible.

A slight contraction occurred in 2021, when the market size eased to 25 545 t. During this year, the SAFIAL project—a €2.4 million Italian investment—was implemented to strengthen food‑safety control systems for vegetables, including spinach. Additionally, agricultural experts highlighted that Albanian growers used significantly less chemical fertilizer than the regional average, focusing on product safety. The market rebounded sharply in 2022, reaching 29 640 t. However, by 2023 volume fell to 26 219 t, as the sector faced mounting pressures from rising input costs for fertilizers and fuel, coupled with rural emigration that reduced the availability of farm labor.
