Agriculture

Although approximately 20 % of Albania comprises fertile arable land and agriculture remains the country’s largest economic sector, accounting for roughly 25 % of GDP—the industry remains largely under-modernized. Nevertheless, the potential is considerable: pioneering investors are already capitalizing on opportunities in medicinal plants and herbs, seasonal vegetables and preserved goods such as olives and olive oil, canned tomatoes, fresh and processed fish, and artisan cheeses.

The Albanian government has committed to ramping up financial support for farms and agribusinesses and enhancing the marketing strategy for local products, in order to boost Albania’s international trade share and achieve compliance with EU standards. Our team at Frost & Fire Consulting stands ready to assist aspiring investors and market operators, leveraging deep expertise in the legislative framework and concrete market entry opportunities—drawn from our track record supporting major clients such as Cargill, Incorporated.
