The high prices, mainly of food products and agricultural products, are weighing on the pockets of residents in Gjirokastra.<\/p>\n
Consumers who frequent the fruit and vegetable market complain that the prices of agricultural products have increased.<\/p>\n
“We find it difficult to afford these salty prices with our economic income”, say the majority of buyers.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know how the prices are, they change daily. We can’t buy them with ridiculous pensions, but it’s good for the pensioner, even giving five lek is not bad,” says a pensioner.<\/p>\n
The traders themselves claim that the prices of food products have not undergone a significant increase.<\/p>\n
They justify increased prices with high import tariffs for agricultural products that come mainly from abroad.<\/p>\n
“The prices are the same, we have neither increased nor decreased them. Well, any product that comes out new has a high price of 100 Lek or 200 Lek more, the tomato was very expensive,” said a seller.<\/p>\n
The increase in prices is having a negative impact on the budget of families in Gjirokastria, increasing expenses for daily consumption products.<\/p>\n
