Behramaj: Potato producers are manipulated

The owner of Elkos company has expressed publicly the readiness to buy most of the potatoes that have remained, however the trade union of Kosova farmers was more interested to use the problem of potato producers to protest and to be factorized as discredited political NGO that it is, allegedly it is doing something in their interest, than to resolve the problems of potato producers. Thus, he has manipulated them and he is doing it again, because it is not true that the Ministry of Agriculture has signed agreement on export with anyone, as we are not trade agents of anyone and we do not sign business agreements, however these are the efforts of Tahiri to attack the ministry, because he is frustrated that we do not want to cooperate with his politicized NGO, Behramaj said.

According to him, the reference price of 24 cents was removed yesterday and all potato producers can export to Albania on same conditions as they have exported before the setting of this reference price.
