As agriculture moves toward employing modern techniques and meeting EU standards, Albanian fresh vegetables and fruit producers are successfully tapping European markets. Among the destinations are Denmark and the Netherlands.
Danish Green Garden, a greenhouse enterprise run by an Albanian couple who also engage in agriculture production in Denmark, has been operating in Albania for around a decade now and managed to meet almost half of its operations in Denmark through fresh products produced in Albania greenhouses.
The company says it operates 7 hectares of greenhouses in Albania and another 20 hectares in Denmark. A series of lettuce varieties such as baby carrots and baby radish are some of the special products grown at the Danish Green Garden in Fier and Lushnje outskirt, some 112 km south of Tirana.
Farm managers Muhamet Iseni and his wife Denada told tiranatimes.com two to three trucks of fresh vegetables from their Fier greenhouses go to Denmark each week.
