And while farmers expect a season with a high yield, they warn that a lack of workers is jeopardizing the smooth running of the harvesting process.

Residents who once engaged in seasonal agricultural work are increasingly fewer.

According to farmers, many skilled workers choose to leave for neighboring countries during the season, attracted by the higher wages offered there.

Although the daily payment according to farmers has reached up to 30 thousand old lek, farmers say they are not managing to secure the necessary number of workers.

The situation is further aggravated by the lack of people with experience in harvesting this fruit.

In addition to difficulties with workers, farmers also express uncertainty about marketing their produce due to the lack of a market.

They demand more supportive policies for the sector, emphasizing that without concrete interventions, not only farmers' profits are at risk, but also their continuity.
