Dairy companies reduce purchases from farmers and increase imports of powdered milk...
"Lufra" and "Erzeni" have become a threat to food security in the country. The two main dairy companies have captured the market, but the quality leaves much to be desired.
It was the Socialist Party MP, Erion Braçe, who denounced a scandal with the "Lufra" company today. He has published the denunciation of a farmer from the Myzeqe area who is on the verge of bankruptcy due to the "deceptive" practices of the milk processing company, Lufra.
In a message to Braça, the farmer accuses the company of "destroying" them with strategy. Specifically, after initially significantly reducing the price of milk collection, according to him, the Lufra company has now cited the presence of aflatoxin as an excuse to reject their product.
"Lufra" itself has reacted by wanting to justify that it is protecting the health of consumers: " Cooperation with local farmers has been and remains a fundamental value for us. Every day we work with them to guarantee that the milk meets legal and European standards of quality and safety. Any decision to temporarily reject milk from some farmers is based solely on laboratory analysis and is carried out to protect the consumer. As soon as the safety criteria are met, the milk is accepted immediately. Our goal is a safe, sustainable and legally compliant supply chain in the interest of farmers, the company and above all, consumers ."
But what is the truth? Both "Lufra" and "Erzeni" and many other companies are more profitable if they use palm oil and powdered milk in their products than if they buy milk from dairy farmers.
A short while ago, the Competition Authority conducted an investigation into the milk market, after there was a significant price increase. The Competition Authority found no violations in this regard, but another, even more alarming element was discovered.
Companies have reduced the purchase price of milk from farmers, while the final price on the retail market has increased significantly.
During the investigation, the Authority also identified a large increase in milk imports from abroad, especially from the company Erzeni sh.pk.
The consulted INSTAT data confirm that during 2024, 224,302 cows were counted in the country, down from 342,683 in 2018. During the years 2021–2023 alone, the number of cows decreased by about 45 thousand. This has caused cow milk production to drop to 745 thousand liters, from 964 thousand liters 10 years ago.
Domestic milk production in Albania is in continuous decline, while paradoxically the import of powdered milk and palm oil, which are used in the food industry as substitutes for natural products, is increasing.
INSTAT data for 2024 show that around 95 thousand tons of milk were collected in the Albanian territory, with a decrease of 6.6% compared to the previous year.
The most significant decline was recorded in sheep's milk by 9.7%, while cow's milk, which accounts for the majority of production, fell by 6.5%. In parallel, cheese and butter production also fell significantly, reflecting the direct consequences of this contraction.
Meanwhile, imports of powdered milk increased by 15% during the period January-April 2025 compared to the same period a year earlier.
It is learned that during this period, Albanians consumed 200 thousand kg of powdered milk and the vast majority of this quantity was imported by the companies Super Milk; LUFRA; AD SH-2014; ELKA SA; Alta Group, etc.
Another alarming factor is the use of palm oil, which has replaced animal fats in many food products. Albania imports about 3,000 tons of palm oil per year, compared to only 380 tons in 2014. Although it is considered harmful to health, it is used massively in dairy products, pastries and cakes.
So it seems clear that "Lufra", "Erzeni" and many others find it easier to sell palm oil and powdered milk than milk from cows. /Pamphlet
Vaji i palmes në qumesht? Na habitet! Vaji i palmes kërkon temperatura të ngrohta per te mos ngrire. Gjithmonë fundi i shishesh behen i bardhe dhe i ngurte si dhjam! Vaji i palmes perdoret si zevendesues i vajit te lulediellit dhe gjalpit por jo qumeshtit! Vendet më të zhvilluara e perdorim. Shikoni produktet e biskuterise Italiane, belve, gjermane etj., e kanë te shkruar që perdorim vai palme. Persa i perket qumeshtit pluhur ku është problemi? Qumeshti pluhur është qumesht i fresket i cili nepermjet procesit teknikogjik kthehet në Puder DHE perdoret në te gjitha produktet e bulmetrave.
Keni te drejte per sa thoni, por duhet te mbani parasysh dy faktore: 1. Vaji i palmes nuk bie ne fund te shishes, sepse shperndahet ne qumesht nepermjet procesit te homogjenizimit, ku perdoren presione deri 250 atm/ml qumesht - ne pajisje qe quhen homogjenizatore. Keto pajisje ndodhen pothuaj ne cdo fabrike ne Shqiperi. 2. Perdorimi i q.pluhur ne produktin qe deklarohet si qumesht i fresket ne vetvete perben shkelje te ligjit te ushqimit ne specifikimin e produktit "qumesht i fresket". Por e keqja nuk mbaron ketu. Qumshti pluhur i perdorur eshte ne pergjithesi i zhveshur nga proteina kryesore e qumshtit (kazeina); pra perdoret pluhur me proteina hirre dhe 0% yndyre - qe eshte shume me i lire se qumshti pluhur me proteina te plota. Mungesa e yndyres kompensohet nga keto fabrika me vaj palme. 3. Eshte vene re perdorimi ne mase i qumshtit pluhur ushqim per vica - me permbajtje deri 30% pluhur soje, yndyrna vegjetale dhe konservante. Ky qumesht ka filluar te perdoret gjeresisht, sepse eshte i lire dhe ne pamje duket qumesht i vertete.

Shume e thjeshte zgjidhja per importin masiv te Qumeshtit Pluhur dhe Vajit te Palmes Ndaĺohet plotesisht importi i Qumeshtit pluhur dhe Vajit te Palmes qofte dhe per nje periudhe stabilizuese derisa te merret vendimi i futjes ne BE. Per pasoje rritet interesi i bujqeve per te mbajtur me teper bageti dhe prodhuar me shume qumesht. Per pasoje do te shtohet interesi i bujqve per te ndenjur dhe u kthyer nga jashte per ne Shqiperi. Atyre Fabrikave,baxhove,tregtareve qe duan te importojne,shesin dhe perpunojne qumesht pluhur dhe Vaj Palme mbyllu aktivitetin. I gjithe konsumatori Shqiptare e di qe importohet Qumesht pluhur dhe Vaj Palme por shkon me idene se ai nuk eshte brenda produktit qe blen ai perndryshe do ta refuzonte ate produkt. Derisa te stabilizohet tregu vendos cmime tavan te perkohshme per cmimin e qumeshtit te fresket Rezultati: Rritet prodhimi i qumeshtit ne vend. Rritet prodhimi i mishit ne vend. Rritet numri i njerezve qe merren me blegtori ne menyre proporcionale ne te gjithe fshatrat e Shqiperise. Rritet dinjiteti dhe fitimi i bujqeve dhe blektoreve qe merren me kete aktivitet. Pakesohet dhe eleminohet lenja djerr e tokave bujqesore. Shtohet numuri i te kthyerve ne atdhe dhe numuri i te punesuarve. Shtohet prodhimi i plehut organik,burimi kryesor i rritjes se pjellorise se tokes.(Shenim:Plehrat kimike e shtojne prodhimin por nuk e rrisin pjellorine e tokes.) Detyrohet pronari i tokes me ligj ta jape token me qera me kontrate noteriale per nje periudhe disavjecare dhe jo me regjimin e sotem,nje vit ta jap dhe tjetrin ta marr. Me BE behet marreveshje qe ky regjim detyrues,do te jete derisa te ndryshojne keta tregues qe kemi sot,me premtimin e liberalizimit te tregut si dhe ne Europe, sapo te merret vendimi i futjes se Shqiperise ne Europe. Te jemi te sigurte qe ashtu si kapercyem mungesat e tregut ne prodhime blektorale ne vitet 1991-1995, me nje popullsi mbi 3 milion banore,ne kohen e sotme me kete popullsi me te vogel kjo gjendje me keto masa permirsohet per 2 vjet
Bravo
Keni shume te drejte per problemin e qumeshtit duhet te ngrihen grupe pune te vazhdushme nga ministria perkatese per kete problem respekte per problemet qe ngreni
