Woman tears up receipt in front of camera, farmers bought cabbage seedlings with

In the village of Jagodinë, Elbasan, several farmers have addressed the editorial staff of the "Stop" show, denouncing a problem with the production of double-headed cabbage, which, according to them, has severely damaged their economy.

Farmers say that the product is not finding a market and the damages for each of them reach from 8 to 20 million old lek. According to them, the problem is related to the cabbage seed they used.

"I've been doing this job for 10 years, planting Brussels sprouts. We get the seeds from Mr. Agim Boja, we got seedlings. I planted it in November, the product should have been ready for the market. But, in fact, all the cabbage came out with two heads. The first time. The market doesn't accept this, because the market wants one head. It's defective," said one of the farmers.

For this reason, they have turned to the seed producer, Agim Boja, who denies responsibility and states that the phenomenon may have been caused by climatic conditions and not by the seed.

The journalist went to the seed production facility, where Agim Boja's wife stated that she did not know the farmers who claimed to have purchased the seed there, even tearing up the receipt in front of the camera.

However, two agronomists, Briani and Mikel Hoxha, confirmed that the seed was sold by this entity and one of them admitted that there may have been problems with the seed.

Several agricultural specialists were also asked about this phenomenon. Different agronomists gave two versions: some link the problem to the seed, while others to climatic conditions and the seedling growth process.

From the Elbasan Regional Directorate of Agriculture, AREB's head, Luljeta Bodurri, stated that the institution is aware of the case and a working group has been set up to investigate the situation. According to her, if it turns out that the problem came from the seeds, the farmers will be compensated./ Tv Klan
