Omer Fruit SHPK, Nedrete Arapi PF, Besim Thaqi PF, Morina Grup SHPK, Fruit-To-Zela SHPK and Roland-2012 SHPK, are the six fruit and vegetable wholesale and collection companies that have been hit by the Competition Authority.

After an in-depth 2-year investigation, it emerged that these companies and the entrepreneurs behind them acted as a cartel, making agreements to dictate prices and control the market, which is actually prohibited by law.

The Competition Authority explains that the 6 companies affected controlled the wholesale fruit and vegetable markets in the districts of Tirana, Elbasan, Berat, Fier and Korça .

Omer Fruit SHPK, Nedrete Arapi PF, Besim Thaqi PF, Morina Grup SHPK, Fruit-To-Zela SHPK and Roland-2012 SHPK appear to have coordinated purchase prices during the season, dictating prices to the detriment of farmers and applying very high mark-ups, up to 115%.

This concerted behavior constitutes a prohibited agreement under Article 4 of Law No. 9121/2003 and is considered a serious violation, for which the Commission has imposed fines of up to 0.15% of the turnover of the previous financial year.

Newsbomb.al has verified the data at the National Business Center and it turns out that the businessmen behind these companies are:

1- Faton Morina - Owner of " OMER - FRUIT ", in Lushnja;

2- Nedrete Arapi - Owner of " Nedrete Arapi Person Fizik ", in Lushnja;

3- Besim Thaqi - Owner of " Besim Thaqi Person Fizik ", in Fier;

4- Bekim Morina - Owner of " MORINA AGRICULTURE GROUP ", in Fier;

5- Nuri Zela - Owner of " FRUIT - TO - ZELA ", in Fier;

6- Roland Vrapi - Owner of " Roland-2012 SHPK ", in Berat.

These collectors, as emerged from the in-depth investigation, thanks to their negotiating power, had created a situation where farmers often faced dictated and coordinated prices, closed doors to negotiation, excessive dependence on a few buyers, pressures to reduce prices, and delayed payment settlements, writes newsbomb .

So, to put it simply: the 6 collectors illegally set the prices for collecting fruits and vegetables and pressured farmers to lower the purchase price.

In conditions where they had "spoken" about how much the price should be, the farmers had nowhere else to go to sell their products, because all six collectors charged the same price, almost to the ground, and they were forced to either sell the goods for almost no profit or lose everything.
