Cereals and milling products compose one of the most dynamic and significant markets, as they serve as basic food. <\/p>\n<p>Before the 90&#8217;s, Albania was ranked as a country of high grain output, as all the consumed quantity was produced by local farms. Grain production in the country fell sharply in the early 90?s as result of agricultural lands abandonment due to migration to cities or emigration to other countries. Another reason of interest fall in cereal farming was the market opening and competition from foreign products with prices well below the cost of production and better quality.<\/p>\n<p>According to official data, a quantity of 696,800 tones of cereals was produced in 2012 within the country. Comparing values of domestic production in the last fourteen years <\/p>\n<p>1998?2012,&nbsp; it results an increase of 15.6 %. Cereal cultivation and production began to grow as a result of price increase of wheat and milling products in international markets . Likewise, milling grain manufacturers have raised interest to purchase raw materials within the country with more competitive price.<\/p>\n<p>  <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/static\/modules\/gviz\/1.0\/chart.js\">{\"dataSourceUrl\":\"\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/tq?key=0Agylwmr5tEbVdEpveEx0TXNoZy1wNEpkd0lmdmZfR0E&transpose=0&headers=1&range=B4%3AC19&gid=0&pub=1\",\"options\":{\"vAxes\":[{\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#222\",\"italic\":true,\"fontSize\":12},\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"title\":\"Value in 000\/tons\",\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null},{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null}],\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#000\",\"fontSize\":16},\"booleanRole\":\"certainty\",\"title\":\"Corn production in the country during 1998-2012 (in 000\/tons)\",\"height\":371,\"animation\":{\"duration\":500},\"legend\":\"right\",\"width\":630,\"hAxis\":{\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#222\",\"italic\":true,\"fontSize\":12},\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"title\":\"Year\",\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindowMode\":null,\"viewWindow\":null,\"maxValue\":null},\"tooltip\":{},\"isStacked\":false},\"state\":{},\"view\":{},\"isDefaultVisualization\":false,\"chartType\":\"ColumnChart\",\"chartName\":\"Chart 1\"}\n  <\/script><br \/><sup>Source: Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Consumer Protection<br \/>Processing and comments: ODA<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><b>Corn production in the country during 1998-2012 (in 000\/tons)<br \/><\/b><br \/> <br \/>\n  <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/static\/modules\/gviz\/1.0\/chart.js\">{\"dataSourceUrl\":\"\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/tq?key=0Agylwmr5tEbVdEpveEx0TXNoZy1wNEpkd0lmdmZfR0E&transpose=0&headers=1&range=B4%3AC19&gid=0&pub=1\",\"options\":{\"vAxes\":[{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"max\":null,\"min\":null},\"maxValue\":null},{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"max\":null,\"min\":null},\"maxValue\":null}],\"titleTextStyle\":{\"fontSize\":16},\"booleanRole\":\"certainty\",\"title\":\"Chart title\",\"height\":362,\"animation\":{\"duration\":500},\"legend\":\"right\",\"width\":630,\"focusTarget\":\"series\",\"hAxis\":{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"title\":\"Horizontal axis title\",\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"max\":null,\"min\":null},\"maxValue\":null},\"tooltip\":{\"trigger\":\"none\"}},\"state\":{},\"view\":{},\"isDefaultVisualization\":false,\"chartType\":\"Table\",\"chartName\":\"Chart 2\"}\n  <\/script><br \/><sup>Source: Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Consumer Protection<br \/>Processing and comments: ODA<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Crop production is dominated by two main products, wheat and maize.
