Book (stand-alone)Technical reportRevitalizing the Albanian dairy sector in the context of food, energy and financial crises 2025
Also available in:
No results found.This report provides an in-depth analysis of Albania’s dairy sector, a critical component of the country’s agricultural economy. Despite recent improvements in farm productivity, the sector faces significant challenges including fragmented landownership, declining cattle numbers, and mounting production costs. The impact of external crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and disruptions in global food and energy systems has further stressed the industry, leading to reduced domestic milk output and increased reliance on imports. The study explores these issues through both qualitative and quantitative research, focusing on the dairy farm segment and examining the roles of farmers, processors, wholesalers, and retailers. While large farms are showing profitability gains, smaller farms are increasingly exiting the sector or shifting to alternative livestock. Demographic changes – such as emigration and an ageing farming population – exacerbate labour shortages, while policy support remains insufficient compared to regional peers. To address these concerns, the report proposes strategic interventions including empowering value chain leaders, encouraging farmer cooperatives, and implementing a holistic policy framework that promotes sustainability, supports young and potential farmers, and fosters innovation. Overall, the dairy sector in Albania stands at a pivotal moment, requiring coordinated efforts to build resilience, ensure competitiveness, and secure its long-term viability within the national economy. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2020
Sustainability in action
2020The 2020 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture has a particular focus on sustainability. This reflects a number of specific considerations. First, 2020 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (the Code). Second, several Sustainable Development Goal indicators mature in 2020. Third, FAO hosted the International Symposium on Fisheries Sustainability in late 2019, and fourth, 2020 sees the finalization of specific FAO guidelines on sustainable aquaculture growth, and on social sustainability along value chains. While Part 1 retains the format of previous editions, the structure of the rest of the publication has been revised. Part 2 opens with a special section marking the twenty fifth anniversary of the Code. It also focuses on issues coming to the fore, in particular, those related to Sustainable Development Goal 14 and its indicators for which FAO is the “custodian” agency. In addition, Part 2 covers various aspects of fisheries and aquaculture sustainability. The topics discussed range widely, from data and information systems to ocean pollution, product legality, user rights and climate change adaptation. Part 3 now forms the final part of the publication, covering projections and emerging issues such as new technologies and aquaculture biosecurity. It concludes by outlining steps towards a new vision for capture fisheries. The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience – policymakers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed everyone interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
