The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development announces that the sector of aromatic medicinal plants numbers 31 exporting companies that have over 80 thousand employees, mainly in the mountainous areas of the country.

“Made in Albania” exports of medicinal and aromatic plants continue to be among the most sought after products in international markets, mainly in Switzerland, Germany, France and the US.

This sector generates over 20 million euros from exports, listed as the second largest sector in agricultural exports. While subsidy and financial support policies are designed to generate sustainable employment and economic resources for many families in rural areas of the country.

According to MoARD, the subsidies provided for this industry have encouraged farmers’ investments to expand the areas planted with these herbs and use technologies for their processing according to the best European standards.

The government finances up to 100 thousand ALL, for farmers who plant medicinal and aromatic herbs in the amount of 200,000 ALL per hectare, through the National Scheme for Agriculture and Rural Development Support in 2022.
