Albania’s plant-based exports continue to meet the phytosanitary requirements of international markets. From January to July 2026, authorities issued 15,559 phytosanitary certificates for exports, the National Food and Veterinary Authority (AKVMB) reported.

Around 60% of Albanian plant exports went to European Union countries.

Fruits, vegetables, medicinal plants and ornamental plants account for most of the exports. These products continue to play an important role in Albania’s agricultural trade.

A phytosanitary certificate officially confirms the health status of plants and plant products. It ensures that they are free from quarantine pests and diseases.

AKVMB also reported that no Albanian plant product was returned from export markets due to phytosanitary problems.

The authority said that maintaining high phytosanitary standards strengthens confidence in Albanian products. It also creates more opportunities to expand exports, especially to EU markets.
